In the last 15 years, China has been rapidly developing its wine industry, with production taking place in regions such as Ningxia, Shandong, Hebei, and Xinjiang. Chinese winemakers use a variety of grape varieties, including local varieties such as Dragon's Eye and Giant Rose, as well as classic international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Riesling.
The bouquet of Chinese wines is rich with notes of sweet fruits, citrus, and herbs. For a taste of authentic Chinese wines, try the bright fruit wines made from white and red plums, which have notes of almond flowers and honey.
