Blanc de Blancs
Extra Brut, 2018
Golden Muscat, 60-year-old vines, Houli Vineyard & Puli Estate
Méthode Traditionnelle, bottle fermented, hand riddled.
1,900 bottles handcrafted
Tasting Notes
The 2018 vintage extra brut is a rich, elegant expression of a specially blessed dry growing season of Golden Muscat grapes from our Houli vineyard and Puli Estate. Framed in delicate bubbles and a translucent lime yellow hue, the charming varietal tropical citrusy flavors are brought to light in richly textured complexity. It is a wine of honest integrity, from the land, the grape, to the people who guided it to be.
Expressive pear, citrus, herbal aromas expand in the palate with wild green mango, pineapple, lime, dappled with honey, key lime pie, white pepper and some spicy notes. Deep zesty mineral acidity and savory nutty tones further flared the complexity to a lingering finish. This is a rhythmic, story-telling jazz piece at play, we hear Bill Evans trio live in the background. To this tune, we nod to a Weightstone signature sparkling wine!
Suggested serving at 6-8°C.

Tasting Notes
This wine in a delicate mousse expresses Golden Muscat’s fruity contour in a refreshing perspective. The extended ripening of berries granted an increased intensity to its rich tropical fruit character. Distinct aromas start with pear, peach, honey, and creamy hints of chestnut and vanilla. Coconut, grilled pistachio and distinct citrus tones bring further delight on the palate. The overall experience is fresh and balanced.
While excellent by itself, this wine would complement well any kind of cuisine for any occasion. Great pairings would be cheese based savoy fondue, roasted pigeon, Peking duck.

Extra Brut, 2016
66% Golden Muscat, Erlin and Houli, 45 years old vines
34% Musann Blanc, Puli Vineyard
Méthode Traditionnelle, bottle fermented, hand riddled.
1,480 bottles handcrafted
Tasting Notes
Golden Muscat is Taiwan’s sole traditional white grape that is becoming a rarity in our diminishing vineyard regions. With its early harvest period in Taiwan, we chose the traditional method of sparkling winemaking to elegantly express its myriad of tropical fruits, vintage by vintage.
In the 2016 growing season, the grapes received a good sunny start in the spring, followed by a normal rainy season in early June to slow down the heat, and a finale of many sunny days until harvest in mid-July. For this vintage, we blended 66% Golden Muscat from our grower vineyards in Erlin and Houli and 34% Musann Blanc from our Puli Estate. This produced an Extra Brut that is tantalizing in rich expression of our terroir. An expressive yet delicate mousse introduces the wine in a golden hue, followed by layers of rich spicy tropical fruit aromas. The wine is textured in a balanced bright acidity, an expanding richness of ripened pineapple, pear, peach, mango, lychee and herbal tones, finishing in a crisp, nutty, lingering impression.
This vintage stands on its own beautifully. With food pairing, the flavors unfold in sumptuous ways. We enjoy tempura, Asian and South Asian cuisines with various herbs and spices, aged and goat cheese and cured meat. Suggested serving at 6-8°C.
