Mid-Autumn Festival Special
Wine & Mooncake Pairings
A Wine for Every Mooncake This Mid-Autumn
Mid-Autumn Festival calls for good company, bright lanterns, and a table full of mooncakes — and there's no shortage of wines that pair beautifully alongside them.
From the rich, savoury-sweet depth of a traditional lotus paste mooncake to the light, delicate bite of a snowskin, we've handpicked bottles that complement each style perfectly.
Traditional Mooncake
Lotus Paste with Salted Egg Yolk
Rich, dense and subtly savoury from the egg yolk, this classic calls for a wine with enough sweetness and acidity to cut through the richness without overwhelming it.
Pairing
Fontanafredda Moscato D'Asti 2024
Light, gently sparkling and fragrant with peach and orange blossom — its delicate sweetness balances the egg yolk's savoury richness.

Pairing
Stefan B. Ress Villa Franz Riesling Auslese 2019, 375ml
A honeyed, off-dry Riesling with bright acidity — a classic match for the lotus paste's sweetness and the yolk's umami depth.

Pairing
Ruinart Blanc De Blancs
Crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay Champagne with fine, persistent bubbles — its lively acidity cuts straight through the richness of the egg yolk for a refreshing contrast.

Modern Mooncake
Snowskin Mooncakes
Light, chilled and often fruit- or cream-based, snowskin mooncakes pair best with wines that are equally light-footed — fresh, aromatic and not overly heavy.
Pairing
Rieslingfreak No. 7 Fortified Riesling NV, 375ml
Luscious and aromatic with a fortified backbone — a lovely match for creamy or fruit-filled snowskin varieties.
