The Place
Jiangshan, Zhejiang
One valley in the mountains of Jiangshan — red-rock peaks, river mist, and an ancient road walked by poets. This is the terroir the fruit never left.
The Landscape
Jianglang Shan (江郎山)
Three red-rock Danxia peaks rise above the orchards — a UNESCO World Heritage site, inscribed in 2010.
They are the landmark of the valley: visible from the fields, wrapped in cloud at dawn, and unmistakable on the horizon.
The Road of Poetry
The Xianxia ancient road
The nearby Xianxia ancient road is known as the “Road of Poetry of the Southern Song,” with over a thousand classical poems written along it.
The terroir has been worth writing about for a very long time.
The Village
Guangdu, in the valley
Guangdu Cun sits among rapeseed fields and orchards, marked by an old wooden pagoda and a stone arch bridge over the river.
The kiwifruit grows in the hills above the village, at elevation, in the mist that rolls through the valley.
The Terroir
Mist, elevation, and vintage
Cool mountain air, frequent mist, and orchards planted at elevation give the fruit its character — and give each annual harvest its own signature.
