“Mooncakes with white lotus seed paste and egg yolk are appreciated for their rich yet delicately sweet profile, with a creamy texture that coats the palate. I’ve selected a dry, mineral-driven Riesling from Ningxia, China to balance this richness and bring out a broader spectrum of flavours. Kanaan Winery, located in Ningxia’s Helan Mountain region, is celebrated for its craft wines that truly express the area’s unique terroir, reflecting the balance of its cool climate and mineral-rich soils. The 2021 Riesling exemplifies this with its crisp acidity and distinct mineral undertones. The wine’s vibrant notes of green apple, lime, and melon, combined with a subtle chalky salinity, enhance the white lotus paste’s richness while keeping your palate fresh and lively.”
