The only grape so far that I haven't liked any bottles I tasted it's #CheninBlanc but I refuse to believe I can't find a grape I won't enjoy. Still looking into it. #wine #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

More skin-contact white wines made in China, this time by Canaan winery just outside of Beijing.
- The Riesling has 1 month of skin contact in amphora, then 6 months of aging in old oak.
- The white blend, with Muscat, Chenin Blanc, Ehrenfelser, Müller-Thurgau and more, has 6 weeks of skin contact in stainless steel.
Both wines are fresh and floral, with that Riesling having ample lemon-y character, while the white blend's aromas dance all over the place: chrysanthemum, passion fruit, jasmine, citrus peel and more.
Anyway, I brought back one bottle of each to include in my next tasting in Beijing. Looking forward to sharing them!

Drank a bottle of #Bouvet my favourite sparkling #cheninblanc from the #Loire and discovered a delicious Washington State #reisling. Chilling for the next two weeks...result 😎
