Type: Light Red Wine (Natural / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Tianshui, Gansu, China
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Alcohol ABV: Approximately 11%
Aroma:
Delicate and lifted with aromas of fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, red cherry, cranberry, and rose petals. Gentle notes of black tea, dried herbs, crushed gravel, and forest floor add savoury complexity, creating a perfumed and Burgundian-inspired expression of Pinot Noir.
Palate:
Light-bodied, elegant, and energetic with vibrant red berry fruit supported by bright natural acidity. Fine, silky tannins and restrained extraction give the wine a graceful, almost weightless texture, while subtle earthy and mineral notes lead to a clean, refreshing finish. Chilled slightly, it drinks beautifully as a fresh, glou-glou style Pinot Noir with remarkable finesse.
The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts using a minimalist approach. No acidification, tannin additions, or cultured yeasts are used, and extraction is deliberately gentle to preserve the purity and elegance of the fruit. The wine undergoes natural malolactic fermentation before ageing in older oak barrels, allowing texture to develop without introducing overt oak influence. It is bottled with minimal intervention to express the character of the vineyard and vintage.
The fruit for Perdue 22.1 is sourced primarily from high-altitude vineyards in Tianshui, Gansu, a cooler and wetter region than Ningxia. The lower temperatures and greater rainfall produce Pinot Noir with naturally lower alcohol, higher acidity, and exceptional freshness. Xiao Pu works closely with growers using low-intervention viticulture, focusing on expressing the unique terroir of China's emerging cool-climate wine regions.
