The highest point on the mountain

杏仁香  Xìng Rén Xiāng

Jia generation · planted 2000 · terroir age c. 26 years


At the summit, where the wind strips everything bare, the smallest leaf in all of Dancong holds on. Serrated edges sharp enough to earn a dialect name: the sawblade (锯朵仔 Ju Duo Zai). And from all that severity: almond cream, marzipan warmth, silk. Only the youngest buds are picked. Nothing on this mountain looks like it. Nothing tastes like it either.


TASTING NOTES

Aroma  Deep roasted nuts. coconut, almond cream. light caramel, butter on toast.

Taste  Bright and lively. Coconut and almond cream, with a fleeting marzipan bitterness that gives the sweetness its shape.

Body  Light to medium, lively, elastic.

Finish  Fresh, cooling. Aftertaste of almond milk, nutty, fresh vegetal.

ON THE SLOPE

The highest and most exposed point on the estate. Windswept, cooler, moisture does not linger. The most severe growing conditions on the mountain. This severity concentrates the fragrance: clean, transparent, precise. The nut and delicate floral notes are focused rather than generous. The aftertaste is clear and extending.

SPRING 26 - SEASON 1 RELEASE

Harvested spring 2025. Charcoal-roasted. Only seasonal tender buds picked.

True age is measured in the soil, not the seed.
