Mystic Island Winery was founded in 2008 as a boutique winery that integrates humanities, arts, and ecology. The winery is located in a small valley in the core area of the Lotus Grape Wine Region on the Penglai Fairy Island in Yantai, Shandong Province, China. This region is known for its fertile soil and unique climate that is ideal for growing grapes. Penglai originated from the legend of "San Shen Shan" (Three Gods Mountain) on the sea, also known as "Penglai Fairy Island", a mysterious place. The founder of the winery named it "Mystic Island" after this mythical location.
Winemaking: The Merlot is planted on the eastern and northern slopes of the Mystic Winery vineyard, and only the best quality fruit is selected for the Reserve range. The fruit was de-stemmed and carefully sorted before the berries were gently fed into the top of the fermentation tanks on the lower level of the winery. The must was then cold soaked to extract colour, tannin and flavour compounds from the skins. During fermentation, the juice was pumped over the skins to extract more colour and tannin. Post fermentation, the wine was drained from the tank and put into a mix of French oak barrels to complete malolactic fermentation and mature on yeast lees before being blended and bottled.
Tasting note: This wine is made with 100% Merlot grapes from the Mystic Winery vineyard. Bright ruby red with intense red and black fruit notes of cherry, plum and blackberry, combined with complex aromas of chocolate, tobacco, and spicey oak notes. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied, fleshy, with fine grained tannins and fresh acidity offering support to the elegant structure and length. Excellent drinking now but careful cellaring will lead to increased suppleness and complexity.
