Type: Orange Wine (Skin-Contact / Natural / Minimal Intervention)
Region: Ningxia, China
Grapes: 100% Gewürztraminer (also known as Traminer; some sources note the aromatic Traminer family expression)
Alcohol ABV: 12.1%
Aroma:
Highly aromatic and expressive, showing classic Gewürztraminer characters of lychee, rose petals, jasmine, and orange blossom. Extended skin contact adds layers of tangerine peel, dried apricot, ginger, herbal tea, and exotic spice, creating a complex bouquet that bridges floral elegance with savoury orange wine character.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a rich, textured mouthfeel and gentle phenolic grip from skin maceration. Flavours of apricot, mandarin, grapefruit, star fruit, and candied citrus are balanced by refreshing acidity and subtle tea-like bitterness. The finish is long and savoury, showing notes of oolong tea, ginger, herbs, and citrus peel, giving the wine both aromatic intensity and structural depth.
The Gewürztraminer grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and extended skin contact, creating the wine’s distinctive amber colour, aromatic complexity, and textured palate. The wine is aged in old oak barrels for approximately several months before bottling, with minimal intervention and without heavy adjustment to preserve the natural expression of the grape.
The grapes are sourced from vineyards in Ningxia, China, a high-altitude wine region known for its dry continental climate, strong sunlight, and significant day-night temperature variation. Xiao Pu works closely with local vineyards to explore natural farming and low-intervention viticulture, allowing aromatic varieties such as Gewürztraminer to express freshness, intensity, and regional character.
