Puchang Saperavi 2018
A dark-skinned, pink-fleshed grape from Georgia, grown against the odds in the Chinese desert.
Grape Varietals & Region: Saperavi, a dark-skinned grape originally from Georgia that has since spread across Central Asia, grown on 26-year-old, south-facing vines at 650m above sea level on alluvial Gobi gravel, sand and silt soils in Turpan Valley, Xinjiang, China. The vines are watered by Tian Shan Mountain snowmelt, channelled pure and untouched through the ancient underground Karez system.
Taste Profile: Deep, velvety ruby colour. Aromas and flavours of crushed raspberries and blueberries with hints of fresh herbs like lemongrass and almonds. Medium to full body with creamy tannins, the ripe fruit and tannin integrating beautifully for excellent balance. Ready to drink now through 10 years.
Winemaking Process: 15 days of post-fermentation maceration, with 50% of the wine aged in 2nd- and 3rd-fill French oak barrels and 50% in tank, then blended and filtered before bottling.
Winemaker: Puchang traces back to 1975 as the state-run Turpan Wine Factory, before Hong Kong businessman K.K. Cheung purchased and restructured the estate in 2008, renaming it Puchang Vineyard. Committed to organic viticulture in one of the world's most extreme wine-growing climates, Cheung set out to change global perceptions of what Chinese wine could be, drawing on Turpan's ancient Karez underground water system and ferociously dry desert air to farm largely pest-free.
