Chateau Changyu Moser XV Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc De Noir 2018

Chateau Changyu Moser XV’s 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc de Noir is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is one of China’s more experimental rosé wines. With its pale to medium salmon appearance, the 2018 vintage shows similarly to the 2017, but with a touch more cranberry and raspberry fruit. However, like the 2017, this is a predominantly savory wine, given the delicate fruit being overlaid with toasted new oak notes (clove, smoke). On the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied pink wine with generous alcohol that is lifted by some bright acidity, delicate red fruit and savory new-barrique influenced notes. With similarly moderate length to the 2017, this is just that bit fresher and is drinking very well now.
