Mystic Island Yihu Chardonnay Dry White Wine 逸湖霞多麗乾白葡萄酒 2018

Founded in 2008, Mystic Island Winery is a boutique winery that integrates culture, art, and ecology. The winery is located in the core area of the Lotus Grape Wine Region on a hillside valley in Xian Island, Penglai, Yantai, Shandong Province. This area is known for its fertile soil and unique climate, which are ideal for growing grapes. Penglai, originating from the legend of "San Shen Mountain" on the sea, is also known as the "Mystic Island." The winery was named Mystic Island Winery in honor of this mystical place.

Winemaking:
The white grapes are de-stemmed without crushing and are gently fed into the small membrane press where they are lightly squeezed
The resulting juice is fermented at a cool temperature in a variety of French oak barrels as well as small stainless-steel tanks for approximately 11 days. The Chief Winemaker will allow a portion of the juice to undergo fermentation with indigenous yeast that arrives with the grapes. To retain the structure of the wine only a small portion of the blend will go through Malolactic fermentation, ensuring the wine maintains elegance with age. The wines yeast lees are then stirred until the Chief winemaker Is satisfied with the aroma and texture of the
Winer

The 2018 vintage is the "First Harvest" of Mystic Winery and the Chardonnay was carefully hand selected and treated with care and attention through every stage of processing. The body is bright lemon yellow, full of complex and pleasant fruit aromas such as white peach, white pear, citrus, and grapefruit, with subtle yeast complexity.
On the palate, the acid is balanced and fresh, combined with moderate texture and weight from lees stirring and finishing with a touch of minerality.
