China's wine industry has experienced significant growth, with a rise in domestic wine production and consumption and an increase in the quality of wines being produced. It’s the perfect time to discover Chinese quality wine and one of the must-try wine brands is the Domaine de Long Dai. Owned by the proprietor of Château Lafite Rothschild, this exquisite red wine is dubbed as ‘The Chinese Lafite’. Home to labour-intensive terraced vineyards in the Qiu Shan Valley of Shandong province, the Long Dai 2020 is currently available at First-class cabins, and is exclusive on Cathay Shop until May 31, and at Cathay Shop – Cityplaza from April 1 to May 31.

Get to try two Domaine de Long Dai vintages – Hu Yue 2020 ($1,850) and Long Dai 2020 ($3,970). The former reveals enticing aromas of red fruit and spicy, liquorice notes. With a fresh initial impression, the palate delivers excellent roundness and length, underscored by fine-grained tannins and hints of sweet spices like vanilla. The latter emanates aromas of small black fruits on the nose, and an ample attack supported by a vibrant balance on a delicate tannic backdrop upon tasting, and roasted notes in the finale.
