China&#8217;s young wine industry is one to watch in the coming years as it<br \/>\ncontinues to push boundaries, attract talent from all over the world and adapt<br \/>\nto challenges in its path.

The China Report 2020<br \/>\nis helmed by China reviewer Edward Ragg, Master of Wine (MW), who has been<br \/>\nactively tasting Chinese wines since moving to Beijing in 2007 with his wife<br \/>\nFongyee Walker MW.<\/p>\n<p><b>China wine<br \/>\ntrends to look out for<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More<br \/>\ndiversity in grape varieties, such as Marselan, Aglianico, Saperavi, Alibernet <\/li>\n<li>The most<br \/>\npromising stars of the past few vintages<\/li>\n<li>Adventurous<br \/>\nand new wine styles, such as organic, biodynamic and natural wines <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Edward Ragg&#8217;s<br \/>\nintroduction takes the opportunity to highlight the increasing variety of wine<br \/>\ngrapes introduced to China, even as Cabernet Sauvignon remains the top planted<br \/>\ngrape for wine production. He explains, &#8220;Grace Vineyard (Shanxi) was among the<br \/>\nfirst to go beyond the Bordelais approach, in recent years producing compelling<br \/>\ntraditional method sparkling as well as wines from alternative varieties<br \/>\nincluding Aglianico and Marselan. Marselan is undoubtedly\u00a0playing an<br \/>\nincreased role across China as the fungally-resistant crossing of Cabernet Sauvignon<br \/>\nand Grenache that adds generous colour to Chinese reds and some much-needed fruitiness.<br \/>\nChateau Nine Peaks in Shandong&#8217;s Qingdao is, similarly, experimenting more with<br \/>\nPetit Verdot and Alibernet: a crossing of Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet<br \/>\nSauvignon which, similar to Marselan, adds fruit and colour to blends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For those who<br \/>\nwant to know which quality names to collect, Ragg names a few: &#8220;From Ao Yun and<br \/>\nLong Dai to long-term veterans of the smaller family operations such as Grace,<br \/>\nSilver Heights and Puchang, Chinese fine wine will hopefully continue to be defined<br \/>\nby the drive for quality in the vineyard and cellar these producers<br \/>\ndemonstrate.&#8221; Ragg has included vintage tasting notes for the debut 2017 and<br \/>\n2018 releases of Long Dai, and its second wine Hu Yue. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He is also<br \/>\nexcited that the thirst for invention has extended to natural wines produced by<br \/>\ntiny producer Ian Dai in Ningxia; and sparkling and orange wines at Silver<br \/>\nHeights, which under winemaker Emma Gao is working on biodynamic wine methods. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ragg<br \/>\nconcludes, &#8220;Whilst there are some inevitable exclusions to this first report,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve tried to cover the country&#8217;s very best wines and those most likely to whet<br \/>\nthe appetites of Robert Parker Wine Advocate subscribers.
