Xiao Pu
Red WineXiao Pu Gathering MV.6
Founded in 2017, ex-sommelier Ian Dai Hongjing, is a travelling negoçiant / 'nomad winery' that produces idiosyncratic cuvées experimenting with extended maceration, alternative varieties, and multi-vintage blending.
Directly translating to ‘Little Garden’ , Xiao Pu wines are a product of nature, made with sustainable practices and respect for the land and its people. Ian Dai works with long-term partners who share the vision of sustainable agriculture and modern farming philosophies.
This is a field blend of many grapes: Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Welschriesling, Muscat of Hamburg, Marsellan, Dunkelfelder. It's also multi-vintage, bottled in 2024. The wine is full of character, with dense dark and red fruit, but also a firm thread of soy and mushroom umami that runs through the core of cherry, black plums, chestnuts, and star anise.
