Chateau Rongzi Marselan 2024 750ml
Chateau Rongzi Marselan 2024 is a distinctive single-varietal red wine from Shanxi, China, showcasing the aromatic and structured character of Marselan grown on the high-altitude Loess Plateau.
Made from 100% Marselan, the wine reflects the distinctive conditions of Chateau Rongzi's vineyards, where high elevation, intense sunlight and significant day-to-night temperature variation help develop concentrated fruit while preserving freshness and acidity.
The wine opens with expressive floral aromas, particularly violet, alongside ripe blackcurrant, wild cherry and dark berry fruit. Subtle fresh mint and spice add aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet balanced, with ripe dark fruit supported by bright acidity and silky, well-structured tannins. A gentle mineral character and subtle oak nuances contribute additional depth.
The finish is long and smooth, with lingering dark fruit, floral notes and delicate spice.
