Xiao Pu 小圃釀造 presents its 2021 'Naked' cuvée, a testament to the winery's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking. This expression is crafted to allow the inherent character of the fruit to shine unadorned, eschewing the influence of new oak to preserve primary aromatics and textural purity. The 'Naked' philosophy champions a transparent approach, aiming to capture the essence of the vintage and the unique attributes of its origin without artifice. This 75cl bottling reflects a considered choice to foreground natural vibrancy and a direct connection to the vineyard.
