Weightstone is part of a small wave of growers proving Taiwan's challenging climate can still produce serious, characterful wine, turning local hybrid varieties into genuine wine miracles rather than treating them as a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tropical and citrus-forward, with plum, orange and grapefruit notes — a genuinely novel flavour profile shaped by grapes that don't grow almost anywhere else in the world. Approachable, food-friendly and clearly built for everyday drinking rather than ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: Traditional Champagne method with secondary fermentation in bottle — over a year on lees (tirage October 2024), finished with a 6g\/L dosage. Just 2,510 bottles produced, part of Weightstone's experimental \"WE\" series exploring blends across multiple varieties and vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weightstone's whole project is built around proving that Taiwan's tricky, typhoon-prone subtropical climate doesn't have to mean second-rate wine — it means different wine, made from grapes bred specifically to survive conditions that would wreck classic European varieties. The WE series is where that philosophy gets playful: blending hybrid grapes most of the world has never tasted into something genuinely drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weightstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43176515403874,"sku":null,"price":106.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Weightstone-Sparkling.png?v=1786267493","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/weightstone-we-sparkling-2024","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
