The Starting Point Amphora Orange Wine 2021
From The Starting Point in China’s Ningxia, the Amphora Orange Wine 2021 is a refined 100% Riesling from vineyards on sandy soils. Hand-harvested and fermented with natural yeast in buried clay amphoras, it employs natural winemaking practices, offering a medium amber hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A delicate, natural orange wine with vibrant fruit, showcasing Ningxia’s terroir.
The nose reveals honeysuckle, mandarin, and orange peel, with hints of dried fruit and minerals. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and balanced, with slight phenolic grip, crisp acidity, and flavors of citrus, apricot, and a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like grilled fish or creamy risotto to highlight its vibrant fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 蒸鮮蝦餃, 清蒸石斑魚, 蟹鉗, 醬爆肉丁, 椒鹽九肚魚, or 豉椒炒蜆 to complement its crisp acidity and citrus notes. Ideal for elegant dinners or seafood feasts.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 10°C in a white wine glass to enhance aromas; no decanting needed. Enjoy now or cellar until 2028 for added complexity, developing richer tertiary notes. Explore our Ningxia collection for more unique wines.
