Mei Jian is a green plum wine that, with its low alcohol content and gentle sweetness, offers an interesting alternative to Baijiu. The wine is made from plums from Guangdong, the Chinese plum region. Plums that are not yet fully ripe are used for production, which give the alcoholic drink a slightly sour note. Clear drink, light gold with green reflections and a restrained viscosity. A pronounced aroma of plums on the nose. In the mouth, a pleasant sweetness of nectarines, apricots, yellow-fleshed peaches and ripe plums, a light bitter almond note increases the complexity, a mango acidity with a medium body and a harmonious alcohol can be tasted. A pleasant warmth remains in the aftertaste.
