Puchang Vineyard Rkatsiteli S 2021 蒲昌酒莊小白羽 2021
Very much an oasis in the middle of the desert, Puchang – located in Turpan Valley, China’s Xinjiang province - now comprises approximately 100 hectares of vineyards which produce up to 130,000 bottles each year. Puchang was first established in 1975. In 2008, Hong Kong business man, Mr. K.K. Cheung purchased the estate, giving it a new direction as one of the first organic wine producers in China.
Puchang focuses on organic viticulture and winemaking with unwavering dedication and care under quality management. It also works with distinctive local grapes to present the taste of Xinjiang terroir. Thanks to the extreme desert climate, this land is almost entirely free of pests. Puchang is certified by ECOCERT as being organically maintained, which is an indication of its fine standard at the international level.
Rkatsiteli is one of the oldest grape varietal originated from Georgia. It was introduced to China in 1956 and yields a good sugar level with high natural acidity. This variety produces balanced white wines. Typical Rkatsiteli is crisp with hints of apple and minerals on the palette.
A shiny cristalline silver wine, with light verdoyant hue. The nose is pure freshness, where tiny flowers dance among white fruit. On the palate the wine reveals more crispy sensations and aromas as well as a touch of minerality.

"Nicely neutral and subtle aromatics that are neither evident nor fruit-driven. There is a hint of stone and seashell to the white nuts that are akin to macadamia and blanched almond. Rather shy and timid on fruit with some nectarine and a hint of green apples. Pretty dry and neutral on the palate with fine lees that add richness and creaminess on the medium-bodied palate. Fresh and supple. Not complex but really pristine and gastronomic, with “mineral-water” purity. From organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification." - Tasted on Nov 7, 2023 by James Suckling
蒲昌（Puchang）位於中國新疆省吐魯番谷，是沙漠中的一片綠洲。現在，普昌擁有約100公頃的葡萄園，每年生產高達13萬瓶的葡萄酒。普昌於1975年首次建立，2008年被香港商人張國強先生購買，成為中國第一批有機葡萄酒生產商之一。
蒲昌致力於有機葡萄種植和釀酒，並在質量管理方面堅持不懈的用心。它還使用獨特的當地葡萄，展現新疆的風土滋味。由於極端的沙漠氣候，這片土地幾乎完全沒有害蟲。普昌獲得ECOCERT有機維護認證，這是其在國際水平上優良標準的標誌。
Rkatsiteli是源於格魯吉亞的最古老的葡萄品種之一。它於1956年引進到中國，具有良好的糖分和高天然酸度。這個品種產生平衡的白葡萄酒。典型的Rkatsiteli具有清脆的口感，帶有蘋果和礦物的味道。
一款晶瑩剔透葡萄酒，帶有淡淡的黃綠色。香氣清新，小花的香氣伴隨著白色水果翩翩起舞。在口感上，呈現出更多爽口的感覺和清爽的香氣，以及淡淡的礦物質味道。

“這款葡萄酒的香氣中性而微妙，既不明顯也不以果味為主導。有一絲石頭和海螺的氣息，與澳洲堅果和漂白杏仁相似。果味相對較不突出，帶有一些桃子和一絲青蘋果的味道。口感上相當乾燥和中性，細膩的酒渣為中等酒體的口感增添了豐富和奶油味。清新而柔順。雖然不復雜，但非常純淨和適合美食，具有“礦泉水”般的純淨度。使用經過有機種植並獲得Ecocert認證的葡萄釀製。” - James Suckling於2023年11月7日品評
