Wines from Tursan

Tursan is not a well known wine producing area as far as Hong Kong is concerned, though having seen the map above hanging at the back of a Lourdes souvenir shop, I had got my bearings for it. I was basically leaving Wine and Dine Festival on the Sunday when I stumbled upon this stand at the Admiralty exit showcasing Tursan wines. They emphasized its proximity to Bordeaux, their local indigenous varieties and the fact that they had made a number of wines to go with Asian cuisine, both Japanese and Chinese. The attraction of obscure grapes was one I could not resist, and I tasted a couple of whites.
