Discovering the wine region of Xinjiang
Vast wine region of northwest China (Turpan, Yili Valley), dry continental climate with cool nights, 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, glacier irrigation. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns: full-bodied and sun-ripened with blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, gentle spices and a mineral touch, ripe tannins. Supple Merlot, spiced Syrah and Marselan for modern reds. Ample Chardonnay, taut Riesling and Rkatsiteli for whites.
Cradle of Chinese viticulture (Han dynasty).
