Each year the Skyline Gobi winery in Xinjiang produces Beaujolais Nouveau-style wines featuring the year’s Chinese zodiac symbol on its label. The new wines usually use quality fruit from the previous harvest, making them a festive yet good-quality choice on your dinner table. For the Year of Rooster the winery produced a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay. The Cabernet is fresh and juicy, soft and delicate with bursting black fruit flavours. Both the red and the white are easy-drinking, making them good company to various dishes.
