💡 The Secret Sauce:
An extraordinary Chinese natural orange wine fermented with native yeasts in traditional Chinese clay amphorae (Tao Guan)! Crafted from biodynamically grown Malvasia blended with Viognier, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, it undergoes extended skin maceration—delivering a intoxicating bouquet of orange blossom and ginger, backed by silky tea-like tannins, vibrant saline acidity, and a savory salted-plum complexity.

🍷 THE SOMMELIER'S TAKE
Hailing from China’s premier terroir at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, Silver Heights’ "Sand Lake Moon" Orange Wine 2023 is a visionary blend by winemaker Emma Gao. Inspired by ancient winemaking and the Chinese lunisolar calendar, whole bunches are fermented on skins for 30 days in traditional clay vessels, followed by natural aging in neutral oak. On the nose, it explodes with vibrant aromatics of orange blossom, yellow apricot, white peach, preserved jasmine, ginger, and loquat. On the palate, a medium body is structured with fine, subtle tea tannins and energetic citrus acidity, finishing bone-dry with notes of toasted spice, granite minerality, and a smoky sea-breeze twist.

Description

🍽️ THE HONG KONG PALATE (Local Pairings)

Spicy & Aromatic Sichuan / Hunan Cuisine: Mapo Tofu, Mouthwatering Chicken (Kou Shui Ji), Cumin Lamb, or Spicy Dry-Pot Seafood. The wine's aromatic complexity and gentle tannic grip withstand chili heat, while its crisp acidity cleanses the palate seamlessly.
Rich Cantonese & Teochew Delicacies: Roasted Duck, Soy-Braised Duck/Goose Platter, Crispy Pork Belly (Siuk Yoke), or Claypot Rice with Preserved Meats (Lap Mei Fan). The tea-like structure and savory umami notes cut straight through rich animal fats and sweet-savory glazes.
