"We believe this wine will pave the way for a new breed of Ningxia wines, where the focus is on the pure pleasure of drinking" - Lenz M. Moser

Chateau Changyu Moser XV is west of Beijing in Ningxia province, in China's most famous wine region. The winery has its roots in Cia Changyu, founded in 1892, when Chinese diplomat Zhang Bishi imported more than 500,000 vines from the US and Europe, paving the way for Chinese wine production.

In 2013, 15th generation Austrian winemaker Lenz Moser became involved with this historic winery and launched Chateau Changyu Moser XV. Since then, the property has advanced at full speed in the international market.

Lenz's focus on vineyard management, blending and aging has taken the quality of these wines to the next level, offering a brilliant example of Ningxia Cabernet Sauvignon. All stages of wine production at Changyu Moser take place at the château, from pressing and fermentation to maturation. The place even has its own museum, which showcases the history of Chinese winemaking.

Although predominantly Bordeaux in style, Ningxia is developing its own unique sense of terroir. For Lenz, this terroir emerges as “a unique type of Chinese seasoning” that you can’t find anywhere else. It's a labor of love too. Although hot and sunny in summer, Ningxia can regularly drop to -25°C in winter, meaning expert vineyard care is required to avoid danger in this extreme terroir.
