Jade Semi Dry Rose Methode Champenoise 750 ML

This is a fantastic semi-dry sparkling rose that is fresh and balanced with notes of strawberries, citrus and wild berries with a subtle touch of sweetness on the finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Emma Ding is the owner of Ningxia’s Jade Vineyard, one of China’s newest producers: 15 hectares of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Marselan planted in the desert-like foothills of the Helan Mountain range in the easterly province of Ningxia. It’s arid land, some 1200m above sea-level – in winter the vines must be buried in mounds of earth in order to survive temperatures that can plunge to minus 25C; in summer, highs can reach up to 35C, but due to the light-coloured, rocky soil, ground temperatures can be considerably higher. This is the terroir that Ding first saw in 2013, and she instinctively knew it was where she would make wine. “In 2012, my heart told me, ‘You should have a vineyard – and you should establish it in China.’ After a very short period of research, in the spring of 2013, I came to Helan Mountain. When I saw this place, I decided after fifteen minutes that it was what I wanted.”
