From a vineyard established in 2005 on the Shandong peninsula by Chris Ruffle comes his unique, gold-medal winning, Petit Verdot/Arinarnoa blend. Gently oaky, this is a lovely clean, velvety red from one of the world's new emerging vineyard areas. 

The Treaty Port was established in 2005 by Chris Ruffle in the Shandong Province, 450 miles south-east of Beijing, China. Frustrated with the quality of domestic wine he had tasted since moving to China in 1983, the ambitious British winemaker and businessman decided to plant vines himself. Chris Ruffle’s intention? To produce the best wines in the country. Some fifteen years later, Treaty Port has been praised for the quality of its production with two of his cuvées rewarded by the China Wine and Spirits Awards. The Treaty Port Estate owns a 50-acre vineyard in Penglai. Located right by the Yellow Sea, the vineyard benefits from a maritime climate. Treaty Port is the first vineyard located in the Quishan Valley, which is an area of granitic soil protected from the North wind by the Qiushan Mountain - named after the 13th Century Taoisit priest Qiu Chuji whose temple lies in Treaty Ports vineyard.

The Prince rather liked braised pork and Beijing roast duck, could go rather well with this wine!
