Some of the vines feeding this bottling were planted in the 1940s — heritage fruit that would otherwise have gone the way of most of the region's old plantings, dug up for higher-yielding, more commercial varieties. Shofang, founded in 2019 by Hu Shofang and Levi Lee in Qinhuangdao, has made old-vine Muscat Hamburg something of a signature, treating it as a serious wine grape rather than the curiosity most of China's wine industry considers it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fragrant and grapey in the classic Muscat way, made in a rosé style — pretty red-berry and floral aromatics with a soft, juicy palate and refreshing acidity. Chill it down and drink it on its own, or alongside light, spiced Chinese dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: Minimal-intervention winemaking in the Australian style both winemakers trained in — gentle handling of old, own-rooted vines, aiming for purity and elegance over extraction or heavy oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shofang Hu inherited her family's vineyard, where the fruit had always been sold anonymously into industrial-scale wineries; she trained in Xi'an before heading to Australia to work vintages in McLaren Vale, then came home with partner Levi Lee (Adelaide-trained) to make wine from the old vines her family had been growing — and selling away — for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shofang Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43163610284130,"sku":null,"price":58.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Shofang-MuscatHamburg.png?v=1785423865","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/shofang-muscat-hamburg","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
