Award:
Beichun is a hybrid between wild grapes from Jilin Province in China and muscat from Xinjiang. Unique variety with high sugar levels only grown in Xinjiang. A full-bodied yet elegant wine in most vintages, with strong scent of strawberry and floral note, particularly rose. The wine is exquisitely sumptuous aroma with strong tannins.
