The 7th edition of Vinexpo Hong Kong took place from May 24-26 2016 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre featuring the widest-ever range of wines and spirits to be showcased in Asia. There are over 1,300 exhibitors from 33 producing countries according to the official release.
For wine lover, France region you should not be missed. Winemakers and exhibitors of France have promoted their products from its 17 wine-producing regions, including Bordeaux, Provence, the Loire Valley, Champagne and Burgundy. One of the winemakers and wines I would like to highlight is La Noblesa ("La Noblesse") . It is a exceptional wine which is very balanced and fine, with ruby colour with aromas of black fruit nose, smooth and round in the mouth, from the Chateau d'Or et de Gueules, AOC Costieres de Nimes.
Spain is the 3rd largest represented country at VINEXPO. Rioja and Rueda, should be recommended for Spanish wine.
One of Rioja I tasted is Rioja Gran Reserva from the Marques de Riscal. It is deep black cherry color, almost opaque. Elegant, complex nose, with aromas of black fruit and lots of spice, sweet tannis that envelop the palate.
There are many quality wines and cuvees , from champagnes to sake, sweet wines, liquors etc but I just selected these two examples.
Looking forward to the next VINEXPO !
