Guests can enjoy the five-wine buffet for just RMB139 at Store 32 from 6 PM onwards September 29. The local wines, just in time for China’s National Day on October 1, are from Ningxia brand Xiao Pu, also known as Petit Garden.
9月29日周三下午6点开始，在只需139元，即可享受五种葡萄酒的自助。好消息！国产葡萄酒 - 来自宁夏的品牌小圃，也被称为小圃酿造 中国年轻人的自然派酒庄，正好赶在10月1日国庆节之前新品到店了，欢迎来品尝呦！

Xiao Pu Background 

小圃酿造背景

Xiao Pu has gained popularity among followers of the small but dedicated and growing group of natural wine fans in China. While winemaker Ian Dai lacks a winery, he has been able to source grapes, rent equipment and build a brand using a “minimal intervention” philosophy. In essence, it means letting the grapes and their juices do the talking by minimizing the additives and filtering used in much of the modern wine-making industry.
在中国的自然派葡萄酒爱好者中，小圃酿造受到了追捧，这一群体数量虽少，但仍在不断壮大。小圃酿造是在2017年诞生的，作为小圃酿造的创始人和首席酿酒师 Ian DAI，受到少干预自然派风格的影响，酿造自然发酵、无添加、少添加的葡萄酒。也尝试在风格、风味上进行创新。他试图酿造出“有地方味道”的葡萄酒，或者说表达出它们的故乡。从本质上说，这意味着让葡萄和它们的汁液“说话”，最大限度地减少现代酿酒业中使用的添加剂和过滤过程。

Xiao Pu's Bubbly Wine 

小圃酿造 派奈特 白葡萄酒

The CHEERS buffet will include Xiao Pu’s bubbly wine made in a style known as pét-nat, or pétillant-naturel, which roughly translates to natural sparkling. This style pre-dates the Champagne method and is made by bottling wine that is still fermenting and will thus create carbonation. It’s a lighter and usually softer and cloudier style of bubbly.
CHEERS葡萄酒自助将包括以pét-nat或pétillant-naturel 风格酿造的小圃酿造 派奈特白葡萄酒，大致意思就是天然起泡酒。这种风格比香槟的方法更早，它是由仍在发酵的葡萄酒制成，因此会产生碳酸。这是一种更轻、通常更柔和、更浑浊的起泡风格。 

Bonaval Cava Brut

纳沃卡瓦天然高泡起泡酒

 ●●●

Guests can compare it to fellow buffet member Bonaval Cava Brut, a dry sparkling wine that does use the Champagne method. (See our post, What’s faster: Usain bolt or a Champagne cork.)
在品尝时可以将其与葡萄酒自助中包括的西班牙纳沃卡瓦天然高泡起泡酒进行比较，感受它们的不同。纳沃卡瓦天然高泡起泡酒是一种使用香槟酿造法的干型起泡酒。(点击查看往期更详细介绍)

The Gathering 聚 干红葡萄酒

The other Ningxia wine is a red blend named The Gathering, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Marselan. This fruity medium-bodied wine has soft tannins along with red berry and red date character.
另一款宁夏葡萄酒名为“聚”，由赤霞珠、品丽珠、小维多和马瑟兰混酿而成。此酒果味浓郁，单宁柔和，带有红莓和红枣的特点。 

Tussock Jumper Monastrell

红衣乐园莫纳斯特雷尔干红葡萄酒

 ●●●

That will be fun to taste beside Tussock Jumper Monastrell from Spain, made with grapes from organic vineyards. The grape Monastrell also goes by the name Mouvedre and Mataro, and in this case makes a fresh smooth full-bodied wine with dark berry character and a slight pepperiness.
和西班牙的红衣乐园莫纳斯特雷尔干红葡萄酒一起品尝肯定也会很有趣，莫纳斯特雷尔葡萄在法国也被称为慕合怀特和玛塔罗。这款用来自有机葡萄园的葡萄酿制，是一款酒体清新顺滑的葡萄酒，口感带有黑莓的特点和轻微的胡椒味。 

Foral de Lisboa white

里斯本皇家法典半干白葡萄酒

 ●●●

Rounding out the buffet is the floral semi-dry Portuguese white wine from Foral de Lisboa. This fruity wine is a blend of three grapes—Muscat, Arinto and Gernao Pires—and fairly light at about 10 percent alcohol.
葡萄酒自助酒单的最后一款是来自葡萄牙里斯本产区的半干白葡萄酒。这款果香馥郁的葡萄酒是由三种葡萄——阿瑞图，费尔诺皮埃斯，莫斯卡托葡萄混酿而成，酒精度约为10%。

There you go: a chance to try two intriguing Chinese wines along with some tasty Spanish and Portuguese brands for just RMB139. And for those who want to buy full bottles of the Ningxia wines, you can get the pair for RMB396 until the end of October.
