Tasting Note

A delightful bouquet of ripe strawberries, hint of brown sugar, almost jammy. On the palate, this wine develops into layers of mulberries, fresh cherries, dates, and a touch of smoked black tea, reflecting the terroir of Yunnan. It is soft, easy to drink, with smooth tannins and textures.
