Naming the series after his first granddaughter, Anastasya, our founder Mr. Chun-Keung Chan expressed his aspiration and commitment that his successors would continue to improve on this series of wine for years to come.

We intentionally make this series into all single-varietal wines, in order to express the character of each grape planted in our various vineyards in China.

Planted in Southern Italy 2,500 years ago, Aglianico often referred as "Barolo of South Italy". It’s now being reborn in Grace Vineyard.

The vine was planted in 2006 in our Shanxi vineyard. Well Structured, in-depth with long finish. 3171 bottles were made from 2018 harvest.
