Chateau Changyu Moser Xv Tinto

Description

Chateau Changyu Moser XV Lenz M. Moser: “We believe this wine will pave the way for a new generation of Ningxia wines, where the focus is on the pure pleasure of drinking.” Although still very young, it already delivers immense pleasure when tasted. Undoubtedly the best red I have ever helped produce, we worked hard to create this new style, dedicating it to Changyu’s leaders and everyone involved in its creation. A large team is required to achieve this result; the final judgment will now come from opinion leaders and our customers. Production notes: 2019 was exceptional in Ningxia, offering greater richness, flavour and tannins than other great vintages. The vineyards are 12‑18 years old. For this truly special and ultra‑rare wine only 6,300 bottles were made. Plots and lots were selected barrel‑by‑barrel, choosing only the grapes from the best parcels of the estate vineyards. It is 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon, with small healthy bunches, brown seeds and 24‑25 Brix, aged for 24 months in first‑use French oak barrels—five different barrels with medium toast—in the Château’s barrel cellar. All cultivation, fermentation and batching were supervised by Lenz M. Moser, Chief Winemaker of Château Changyu Moser XV, who spends the entire harvest period in Ningxia, visiting the Château five times in total, about three months per year. After a collaboration with Changyu in Yantai (Shandong province) ten years earlier, the President and CEO of Changyu and Lenz M. Moser agreed that Lenz would take command of Château Changyu Moser XV from 2015, responsible for both production and marketing of the wine. Awards: 93/100 – Falstaff.
