Chateau Lansai

Sai Long Teng (Dragon) 2021

Aged 100% in second year French oak barrels for 8 months, pressed via pneumatic press, with nitrogen protection and oak barrel fermentation. Pale lemon-yellow in color, bright and translucent, with a clean, focused appearance. The nose offers an appealing sweetness—first with a hint of pineapple beer, followed by yellow fruit aromas (yellow peach, apricot, loquat), alongside citrus, pineapple, vanilla, light cream, and pear drop candy notes. Medium-bodied with a smooth yet slightly textured mouthfeel. The acidity is moderate, softened by MLF, making it gentle and unobtrusive. Medium complexity—clean and sweetly fragrant with a subtle saline touch. The fruit profile features yellow fruits, pineapple, mango, and ripe citrus, complemented by a vanilla ice cream nuance and a faint whisper of coconut jelly or fruit jelly. The finish lingers for about 7-8 seconds, carrying fresh yellow fruit tones and a delicate vanilla-creaminess. With slight oxidation, a subtle dried sweet potato note emerges.
