Puchang Vineyard Saperavi Reserve 蒲昌酒莊精選沙布拉維 2014

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.

Ratings
RP 94 points from The Wine Advocate
"The 2014 Reserve Saperavi shows the very deep ruby color and "inkiness" typical of this teinturier variety. The nose offers intensely ripe damson, black cherry and black plum fruit with savory, secondary new oak notes of toast, clove, smoke and some woodiness that integrate well with the primary fruit. On the palate, the 2014 is very full-bodied with marked coating, chewy tannins and some uplifting acidity—typical of Saperavi—with high but not heady alcohol and marked concentration throughout. This wine shows long length with a layered, robust finish. It’s very youthful and would undoubtedly benefit from decanting." - Tasted on Dec 11, 2020 by Edward Ragg

蒲昌葡萄酒庄位於中國新疆吐魯番盆地，如同沙漠中的綠洲，現在擁有約100公頃的葡萄園，每年生產多達13萬瓶的葡萄酒。普昌酒莊成立於1975年。2008年，香港商人張國強先生購買了該莊園，使其成為中國首批有機葡萄酒生產商之一，為它注入了新的發展方向。

蒲昌注重有機葡萄種植和釀酒，以優質管理為基礎，堅持不懈地致力於這一領域。它還與獨特的當地葡萄品種合作，展現新疆風土的風味。由於極端的沙漠氣候，這片土地幾乎沒有害蟲。普昌獲得ECOCERT有機認證，這是其在國際水平上優秀標準的證明。

“2014年份的特級沙布拉維葡萄酒展示了這種深紅寶石色和具有“墨水”特點的染色品種。香氣中散發出極熟的酸梅、黑櫻桃和黑李子水果，還帶有烤麵包、丁香、煙熏和一些木質氣息等次要的新橡木味道，與主要水果融合得很好。口感上，2014年份的酒體非常飽滿，單寧有明顯的包裹感和咀嚼感，以及一定的提神酸度——這是沙布拉維的典型特點——酒精度高但不沉重，整體濃度顯著。這款酒口感持久，收結豐富而層次分明。它非常年輕，無疑可以從倒瓶中獲益。” - Edward Ragg於2020年12月11日品評
