Mystic Island Yihu Chardonnay Reserve Dry White Wine 2020 逸湖霞多麗珍藏乾白葡萄酒

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.

This wine is made from 2020 Chardonnay grapes, which are carefully selected and handpicked from Mystic Island Winery's own vineyards. The winemaker has selected 12 small plots of grapes with the best maturity. It has a bright lemon-yellow color and a rich aroma of citrus, stone fruits, minerals, and perfectly integrated oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a tight and balanced acidity, silky texture, ample fruit flavors, noticeable minerality, and a balanced and long finish.

Winemaking:
The Chardonnay is grown on 25 small hilly hillside terraced plots with an average size of about 0.8 mu each. Winemakers carefully selected 12 small plots of grapes with optimum ripeness. The bunches are carefully selected by hand, and they are carefully sorted before the whole bunches were gently squeezed in the small membrane press. After minimal settling the juice was racked into new Barreis end loft diene to ferment, naturally with wild east. Following a cool and slow fermentation, the MLF was also encouraged naturally in the barrels. The entire fermentation process lasted for approximately 3 months, the wine continued to mature on Yeast lees for further 9 months. In 2020, we increased the use of one-year-old French oak barrels and prolonged the low-temperature fermentation time, allowing the lemon, citrus, stone fruit, and other fruit flavors to be fully displayed.
