Farmentation, Peach Bubble, 2023

Here's a wine that breaks all the rules in the best way: a sparkling bottle made not from grapes but from honey peaches, one of China's most beloved fruits, by Farmentation in Shaanxi. The peaches are fermented and aged in stainless steel, then bottled off-dry and gently fizzy, with lovely fresh-peach aromas and a lower alcohol level that makes it dangerously easy to keep pouring. It's the kind of bottle that delights skeptics and sparks conversation, a genuinely original sparkler for the adventurous. Get it cold and have fun with it.
