Ningxia, China
Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends grown on the edge of the Gobi, with dramatic day–night temperature swings. Structured, dark, ageworthy. Not novelty wine. Serious wine.
Asian Winery explores and documents the most promising vineyards, regions and producers emerging across Asia — from the high-altitude Cabernet of Ningxia in Northern China to the precise Koshu expressions of Yamanashi in Japan.
We believe the next serious wine conversation will not only be about France and Italy. It will also be about Gobi dust, volcanic soils, night-harvested fruit in desert air, and a new generation of winemakers who aren’t copying Europe. They’re building something else.
Asian wine is often treated as a curiosity. We don't see it that way. Climate, elevation, technical discipline and long-term capital are aligning. What happened in Napa in the 1970s and in New Zealand in the 1990s is now happening east of the Mediterranean.

Precision whites from the Koshu grape: pale, mineral, quiet, food-driven. Subtlety over volume. The opposite of mass production.
Thailand experimenting with altitude. India pushing ripeness discipline. Korea working on sparkling profiles. Asia is not “up and coming.” Asia is here.
