Notas de degustación
Solidly built powerful red wine. Ink black colour with colourful tears. Typical nose of black currant and pepper, as well as mint and spice. Powerful in the mouth onset with firm but supple tannins and equal acids, balanced texture with a finish of blackberries and blueberry. Fits best with grilled red meat, barbecue with spicy sauces and well-seasoned grilled fruit vegetables. Serving temperature: 16°C
Wine Story
Chateau Changyu Moser XV has been inaugurated in 2013, August 18th to be precise – in China important dates should incorporate the “lucky” number of 8. In 2009 it was decided that Changyu’s crown jewel to be placed in China’s new wine Eldorado, Ningxia – some call it the Napa Valley of China – I don’t. However, it is a very special place with a unique climate.
The circumstances are ideal – so why does an Austrian make wine in China, in the desert, south of Mongolia? Well, I travelled the first time to China in 2005 – in order to sell my Grüner Veltliner in China and so I did. I also developed a relationship with China’s oldest and most important winery, Changyu Pioneer.
I have all the respect for its people as they master a language, writing which I haven’t yet mastered -it is super difficult. In addition, I am impressed what this country has achieved over the last 40 years -on its own and with discipline and diligence second to none. And as for the wines of Chateau Changyu Moser XV, we are really proud of having taken the no. 1 position from China onto the world market – in the premium field.
With all of this, we humbly have to say – it’s been fantastic five years since we started with a white sheet of paper, no wine, no labels, no concept, no customers, no markets. It is a blast to surprise people about our wines, to give them the discovery tour to the new and emerging wine nation of China. It is amazing how the international consumer is giving these new wines a try, leaving them completely surprised and excited, because of the quality and special style of wines – resembling no one in the world of wine, uniquely from China, Ningxia and Chateau Changyu Moser XV – yet it is just the beginning and as my great mentor Mr. Robert Mondavi always said, “the best is yet to come”.
