The Future and Development of Wine in Asia
亞洲葡萄酒的未來與發展
Following the development of the Asia wine consuming market, especially the sustainable growth of the Chinese wine market shares of imported wines, domestic Chinese wines have attracted growing attention. Shandong deserves its place at the top of the list of Chinese wine regions because of its long history of winemaking, and the figures of wine sales by both volume and value are the highest.
In this case, we will take Mystic Island Winery From Which was located in in Qiushan Valley, Penglai, Yantai in China as an example to explore the potential of local wineries. We will also examine how the winery balances promoting high-quality grape wine production with revitalizing rural development and conserving the environment. Furthermore, we will have the opportunity to taste the grape wines of Qiu Mountain Valley together with Nelson Chow and experience the charm of the local wineries!
隨著亞洲葡萄酒，尤其是中國葡萄酒消費市場的份額持續增長，中國本土出產的葡萄酒也越來越受到關注。如果把山東排在葡萄酒產區之首——因其歷史悠久以及銷售量以及銷售額度最大，也是當之無愧的。
本次我們將以中國煙台丘山山谷葡萄酒產區 – 仙島酒莊為例，去發掘當地酒莊的潛力。以及酒莊在當地除了種植優質葡萄酒之外如何平衡振興農村發展，及保育生態。並與 Nelson Chow 一起品嚐丘山山谷的葡萄酒，體驗當地酒莊的魅力!

Ningxia Wine Tasting
寧夏葡萄酒品鑒會
Ningxia is home to a wide variety of grape varieties, including both international and domestic varieties. Some of the most common international varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Marselan, and Chardonnay, which are renowned for producing high-quality wines around the world. Thanks to the favorable climate and soil conditions in the region, these varieties have been successfully cultivated in Ningxia.
In addition to these international varieties, Ningxia also has some unique domestic grape varieties, such as Italian Reisling, Ningxia Rose Honey, and Cabernet Gernischt. These local varieties have been carefully selected and cultivated to adapt to the specific climate and soil characteristics of the region, resulting in the production of unique and complex wines with a distinctive flavor.
During French President Macron’s recent visit to China, the wine served during his reception was a blend of Chinese and French grape varieties, symbolizing the friendly cooperation and development between the two countries. The wine was a new creation from the Xige Estate Winery, which blended Cabernet Sauvignon and Snake Dragon Pearl. Participants of the master class will have the opportunity to taste this unreleased wine, and stand at the same level as the leaders of both countries.
In addition, there are also Ningxia Merlot and Pinot Noir, both of which come from top wineries in Ningxia and have won numerous awards.
寧夏種植的葡萄品種非常多，既包括國際品種，也有國內品種。一些最常見的國際品種包括赤霞珠、梅洛、西拉、黑皮諾、馬瑟蘭和霞多麗等。這些品種以生產高品質的葡萄酒而聞名於世，由於該地區有利的氣候和土壤條件，這些品種已在寧夏成功種植。
除了國際品種外，寧夏還有一些獨特的國內葡萄品種，例如貴人香、寧夏玫瑰蜜和蛇龍珠等。這些當地品種經過精心挑選和培育，以適應該地區的特定氣候和土壤特徵，並釀造出寧夏風味獨特而複雜的葡萄酒。
早前，法國總統馬克龍訪華期間，中法兩國領導人品嘗了中法品種混釀的新品葡萄酒，體現兩國友好關係共同發展。該葡萄酒是寧夏西鴿酒莊以赤霞珠與蛇龍珠混釀的新傑作。大師班上，參與者將有機會品嘗到這款美酒，站在兩國領導人的高度共同品鑒。
此外，還有寧夏馬瑟蘭、黑皮諾，均來自寧夏頂級酒莊，屢獲獎項。
