Chinese Wines

One of the cradles of civilisation with a 9000-year history, China’s long-dormant winemaking culture has moved at breakneck pace since 1979. The old generation founded their wineries based on the Chateaux of Bordeaux, valuing full-bodied reds aged in new oak. But the new generation have found inspiration in nuances, working to define China’s unique terroir by drawing from East Asian gastronomy, local tradition, and Chinese philosophy. After years of refinement, Chinese wine is ready to debut on the world stage.

There is no shortage of niche corners in the macrocosm of China’s wine industry—from the old world to the experimental. For wine enthusiasts in Australia, exploring Chinese wine offers an exciting way to experience this evolving landscape.

Cardwell Cellars are proud to offer Australia's largest selection of high-quality of both red and white Chinese wine.
