Puchang Vineyard Rkatsiteli is a distinguished white wine from the Turpan Valley in Xinjiang, China. This wine presents a moderate lemon hue and is crafted from the Rkatsiteli grape, a variety with origins in the Caucasus region. On the nose, it offers abundant aromas of quince, red pear, and nectarine, complemented by subtle notes of white flowers and a hint of nuttiness with slight honeyed development.


The palate is full-bodied, featuring lively acidity and a rich texture, with well-integrated 14.5% alcohol that supports the ripe, dense fruit flavors reminiscent of quince paste. A subtle creaminess from lees influence balances the vibrant acidity, leading to a long finish.
