Vintage Character 2017 Tiansai Vineyards 'Skyline of Gobi' Sparkling Wine is a Chinese sparkling wine from Yanqi in Xinjiang, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It comes from one of China’s most distinctive northwestern wine regions, where vineyards sit in a dry continental climate shaped by abundant sunshine, low rainfall, and strong day-to-night temperature shifts. These conditions help preserve freshness while allowing clean fruit ripeness, giving the wine a clear sense of place from the edge of the Gobi-influenced landscape.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The nose shows green apple, lemon peel, white peach, and delicate floral notes, supported by light brioche, fresh bread, and almond from lees influence. On the palate, it is dry, brisk, and finely textured, with lively mousse, citrus-led clarity, and a mineral-leaning finish that keeps the fruit focused. Its fresh, food-friendly profile works well with oysters, steamed seafood, roast chicken, tempura prawns, or lightly spiced Chinese dishes.
Winery Background Tiansai Vineyards is one of Xinjiang’s best-known quality-focused producers, associated with Yanqi’s high-sunlight, cool-night growing environment and a modern approach to Chinese fine wine. The estate has helped show that China can produce serious wines beyond the familiar international regions, especially where careful viticulture and clean cellar work support balance and precision. The Skyline of Gobi name highlights the wine’s origin and landscape, connecting the bottle to Xinjiang’s dramatic desert-edge setting and the emerging identity of Chinese sparkling wine.
