At Chinese New Year we drink alcohol not only for the kick but also for the joy of the festive gathering. And this wine, presented by Silver Heights, is designed for that. Classic Bordeaux blend with 12 month oak aging creates an easy-going yet complex wine. Delivering the terroir of Helan Mountain East, this wine is bursting with rich blackberry, plum and sour cherry aromas, and dotted with forest, vanilla, smoke and cream chocolate perfume. The texture features Gao Yuan, the winemaker’s signature fine tannins and elegant acidity. Joyous and soft though filled with positive energy. This is a modern-style Helan Mountain wine which displays layers of flavours and complexity. The long finish reminds me of the bright laughter of the winemaker.
