Xiao Pu Perdue 22.3 Pinot Noir comes from the high-altitude vineyards of Ningxia, one of China's most exciting wine regions. The combination of abundant sunshine, cool nights and well-drained soils allows Pinot Noir to develop vibrant aromatics, freshness and precision, resulting in a wine that is both expressive and refined.

The nose is immediately captivating, bursting with aromas of wild strawberries, red cherries and crushed raspberries, layered with delicate floral notes, subtle spice and a gentle savoury complexity. There is a purity and brightness to the fruit that gives the wine an irresistible sense of freshness from the first pour.

On the palate, silky textures meet vibrant red berry fruit, ripe cherry and plum, supported by hints of forest floor, dried herbs and sweet spice. Fine tannins provide elegant structure, while lively acidity carries the wine through a long, energetic finish. The balance between juicy fruit, savoury nuance and freshness makes for a Pinot Noir that is both approachable and intriguingly complex.

Produced by Xiao Pu, one of the pioneers of China's contemporary natural wine movement, Perdue 22.3 is a distinctive and compelling expression of Pinot Noir. Elegant, aromatic and full of character, it offers a fresh perspective on the variety while showcasing the remarkable potential of Ningxia's unique terroir.
