Hebei, China · Red Wine · Medium Bodied

The name is as unhurried as the wine. This is Chengzi's Bordeaux-shaped blend from the Great Wall foothills of Huailai, Hebei, Cabernet Sauvignon leading with Merlot and a lift of Marselan, aged sixteen months in stainless steel to keep the fruit bright. He farms biodynamically and works with as light a hand as he can: organic grapes, wild-yeast fermentation, no fining, no filtering, no added sulphur. Dark berry and cassis, a savoury, herbal thread and smooth, well-judged tannins, a red that is serious without being heavy. A wine for a long, slow afternoon, painted or otherwise.

Pairing Suggestions

The longest name on the shelf, and a wine that earns the whimsy.
Bright and unfussy, it takes vinegar and chilli: guo bao rou, or cold noodles.
Or a donkey burger, which is Hebei's own contribution to the form.

About Gloriville

Chengzi Li grew up on his family's ten hectares in Huailai, Hebei, vineyards planted in 1999 to supply the big state-owned wineries, until a chance encounter with natural wine in Shanghai in 2013 changed everything. He took back the estate, stopped selling grapes, and began farming organically; by 2023 he had committed fully to biodynamic principles. In the cellar, nothing is added and nothing is taken away focusing on wild ferments, no fining, no filtration, no sulphur. The wines are alive in the truest sense: wild, honest, and rooted in a part of China that most wine drinkers have never thought to look.
