The Treaty Port Estate, The Manchu Bride, Muscat
From a vineyard established in 2005 on the Shandong peninsula by Chris Ruffle comes this crisp Muscat with a hint of sweetness, which won gold medal at the China Wine & Spirit Awards in Hong Kong. The 2018 vintage produced a high quality juice which was cold-fermented to retain the floral, lychee character of the wine.
The Treaty Port was established in 2005 by Chris Ruffle in the Shandong Province, 450 miles south-east of Beijing, China. Frustrated with the quality of domestic wine he had tasted since moving to China in 1983, the ambitious British winemaker and businessman decided to plant vines himself. Chris Ruffle’s intention? To produce the best wines in the country. Some fifteen years later, Treaty Port has been praised for the quality of its production with two of his cuvées rewarded by the China Wine and Spirits Awards. The Treaty Port Estate owns a 50-acre vineyard in Penglai. Located right by the Yellow Sea, the vineyard benefits from a maritime climate. Treaty Port is the first vineyard located in the Quishan Valley, which is an area of granitic soil protected from the North wind by the Qiushan Mountain - named after the 13th Century Taoisit priest Qiu Chuji whose temple lies in Treaty Ports vineyard.
