Description
A Chinese Cabernet Sauvignon that surprises you with elegance and freshness.
Chateau Changyu Moser XV and the history of Chinese wine
China and wine have been together longer than many people realize. Founded in 1892, Chateau Changyu is considered the oldest winery in the country. The collaboration with Austrian winemaker Lenz Moser gave the project an international boost. The result is Chateau Changyu Moser XV, situated at the foot of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia. This region quickly became China's premier wine region and demonstrates that Chinese wine is much more than a curiosity.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grape in Ningxia
Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in the dry, sunny valleys along the Helan Mountains. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. This means large temperature variations between day and night, which helps the grapes develop ripe fruit while retaining freshness. While Cabernet in Bordeaux is often classic and restrained, Ningxia produces a wine that appears riper yet tastes surprisingly vibrant.
The location: Helan Mountain Range
The Helan Mountains form a natural barrier that protects the area from the desert winds. The soil is poor and stony, with a high proportion of lime and gravel. This is precisely the kind of subsoil where vines must root deeply to find water and nutrients. This produces grapes with concentration and tension. Combine this with more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and you can understand why this region is often called the "Napa Valley of China" by experts.
Flavor profile of the 2023 Helan Mountain Range Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 vintage produces a wine with abundant dark fruit notes. Think blackcurrant, plum, and a hint of cherry. The aroma reveals a hint of bay leaf, a touch of cedar, and a touch of smoky aromas. On the palate, the wine feels juicy and smooth, with ripe tannins and a fresh undertone that balances everything beautifully. It's a Cabernet that combines power with drinkability. Not too heavy, not too light, but just right for those curious about Chinese wine.
How this wine is made
After hand-picking, the grapes are rigorously selected. Only the finest bunches proceed to fermentation. This takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's purity. Then comes aging in French oak, usually a mix of new and used oak. This gives the wine a subtle spice note without the oak dominating. The style is modern, sleek, and focused on elegance.

Château Changyu Moser XV or in good Chinese 张裕摩塞尔十五世酒庄 is without a doubt the most famous Chinese Winery. It is the very first Winery in China founded in 1892 by Zhang Bishi, an overseas Chinese diplomat.
He decided to start his pioneering winery in Yantai and named it "Zhang Yu Wine Company". He imported more than 500,000 vines from the US and Europe, paving the way for modern Chinese wine production, supported by an Austrian viticulturist: August Wilhelm Baron von Babo. After more than 120 years of growth, CHANGYU today is a group with international shareholders such as ILLVA (Italy, Amaretto di Saronno) and IFC (International Finance Corporation, USA), which owns and operates eight chateaux and wineries throughout China. Its portfolio includes wine, brandy, sparkling wine and healthy liqueur and is well received in more than 20 countries. CHANGYU is also the largest Chinese wine producer with a large market share.
In 2015, Lenz founded LENZ M. MOSER PROJECTS with the clear goal of choosing only very few, but very special projects in the new wine world and to inspire his partners with his 30 years of experience and know-how.Lenz Maria Moser is the fifth generation from the Austrian wine family Lenz Moser and 15th in the direct line of the Moser family. The family has been active in the wine trade since 1610, with the first mention of the Moser family in their native village of Rohrendorf (Lower Austria) dating back to 1124. Lenz had a double university education in Austria's Klosterneuburg in business and oenology. Even with his formal education, Lenz attributes his understanding of the fundamentals of life and his winemaking knowledge to his grandfather, the legendary Professor Dr. Lorenz Moser III., who invented and developed the ubiquitous Austrian trellising system called the "Lenz Moser Hocherziehung". , which revolutionized vineyard cultivation across Europe.
Lenz's impressive wine career began at Lenz Moser Winery (Austria's premier wine producer) as General Manager for 10 years. In 1997, Lenz was asked to join Robert Mondavi as General Manager Europe, where he established the European branch and led the pioneering American wine company for nine years until it was sold to the Constellation Group. In 2005, Lenz returned to his Austrian roots by founding LAURENZ V. with two partners. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who helped to promote Grüner Veltliner from a minor grape variety in the late 1920s to the number one Austrian grape. Lenz and his partners have become the modern ambassadors of the variety and stick to the mission of establishing Austria's signature grape as a variety among the best white wines in the world. His second activity from 2005 was acting as CEO of an import company in Germany, bringing wines from 10 countries to Europe. In this capacity, he first met the people of Changyu in 2005, developing a close relationship with the leaders of this great and pioneering company. In 2015 they decided on a joint project: Chateau Changyu Moser XV, a collaboration with the great goal of producing the best and most important wines in China.
