Mystic Island YIHU Dry Red Wine 2018
Mystic Island Winery was founded in 2008 as a boutique winery that integrates humanities, arts, and ecology. The winery is located in a small valley in the core area of the Lotus Grape Wine Region on the Penglai Fairy Island in Yantai, Shandong Province, China. This region is known for its fertile soil and unique climate that is ideal for growing grapes. Penglai originated from the legend of "San Shen Shan" (Three Gods Mountain) on the sea, also known as "Penglai Fairy Island", a mysterious place. The founder of the winery named it "Mystic Island" after this mythical location.
The 2018 vintage is the “First Harvest” of Mystic Winery with the growing season providing warm ripe fruit flavours throughout the red varieties. The wine is bright ruby red in colour, with rich blueberry and blackberry aromas combined with oak, tobacco, and spice notes. The palate is medium bodied and well-balanced. The grainy tannins and minerality provide support and freshness to the palate while the oak aging adds complexity and texture.
