Xiao Pu Gathering 2023 聚
Type: Red Wine (Natural / Minimal Intervention / Light-Bodied Red Blend)
Region: Ningxia, China
Grapes: The exact recipe varies by vintage, but the release (such as the MV7) features grapes like Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Marselan, and Welschriesling.
Alcohol ABV: Approximately 12%
Tasting Profile and Key Notes
Aroma:
A fresh and aromatic natural red showing notes of red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and cranberry. Floral hints of violet and rose petals combine with subtle herbal notes, spice, and a gentle earthy character. The wine carries a lifted, youthful perfume with a style focused on freshness rather than power.
Palate:
Light-bodied, juicy, and vibrant with crunchy red fruit flavours of cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate. Bright acidity provides energy, while fine tannins create a delicate structure and a slight savoury grip. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering notes of red berries, herbs, and subtle minerality.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts, following Xiao Pu’s minimal-intervention approach. Fermentation is carried out with gentle extraction to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, followed by ageing in neutral vessels before bottling. The wine is bottled with minimal additions, allowing the natural character of the fruit and vineyard sites to shine.
Farming
The grapes are sourced from vineyards in Ningxia, China, a high-altitude region known for its dry continental climate, strong sunlight, and significant day-night temperature variation. Xiao Pu works closely with growers using sustainable vineyard practices, focusing on healthy soils, balanced vines, and expressing the unique identity of Chinese terroir.
