TASTING NOTES

TASTING NOTES by Lenz M. Moser, ChiefWinemaker Chateau Changyu Moser XV:

Speaking on this wine, Jancis Robinson MW said to Lenz in 2016:

"This is the most important wine in your portfolio it will reach many consumers around the world and create awareness for wines from China.

This is also a reason why we put our utmost care into creating this "affordable" wine.

We also wanted to create a new style of unoaked wine from the Chateau-“showing the character of the best Cabernet Sauvignon berries l have ever worked with", says Lenz. Spice of China, concentrated fruit aromas and favors you would never expect from such a young Cabernet. The small berries occur in this desert climate to protect themselves from evaporating the water - hence a fantastic skin-to-juice ratio.
