Bold Cassis, Toasted Cedar, Tobacco, and Pioneering Ningxia Terroir

The 2015 Castaly "Myth" Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold, structured, and profoundly expressive dry red wine from the high-altitude vineyards of Ningxia, China. Located at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountain range in the Hongsipu District, Domaine Castaly is a pioneering estate showcasing the immense potential of Chinese terroir. This premium cuvée captures the arid, sun-drenched intensity of the region, delivering soaring aromas of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, cedar wood, and subtle toasted spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, framed by firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, savory finish that speaks to its premium craftsmanship.

Terroir & Domaine Craft

  • Helan Mountain Terroir: Sourced from vineyards located at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia's Hongsipu District. The region's high altitude, intense sunlight, and arid, sandy soils produce Cabernet Sauvignon with exceptional concentration, thick skins, and robust tannic structure, quickly making it China's premier wine-growing region.
  • Domaine Castaly: As the first wine enterprise to settle in the Hongsipu District, Domaine Castaly is a driving force in the Chinese wine industry. With an expansive vineyard footprint and a focus on premium quality, their "Myth" cuvée represents the pinnacle of their Cabernet Sauvignon production, crafted to rival classic structured Bordeaux blends while retaining a distinctly Ningxia character.

Highlights

  • Premium Cabernet Sauvignon from the emerging world-class terroir of Ningxia, China.
  • The 2015 vintage offers deep concentration, dark berry fruit, and robust tannic structure.
  • Crafted by Domaine Castaly, a pioneering estate and a director unit of the China Wine Industry Association.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep, opaque ruby-red with a slight garnet hue at the rim.
  • Nose: Intense and savory. It opens with aromas of crème de cassis, blackberry jam, and dark plum, layered with distinctive notes of cedar wood, tobacco leaf, roasted coffee, and a hint of earthy spice.
  • Palate: Dry, full-bodied, and mouth-coating. The entry delivers a dense wave of dark fruit extract, firmly structured by robust, grippy tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long, savory, and richly toasted.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C to allow the dark fruit and complex oak aromatics to open properly.
  • Decanting: A 45-to-60 minute decant is highly recommended to soften the firm mountain tannins and integrate the wine's powerful structure.
  • Western Pairing: Grilled ribeye steak, braised short ribs, roast lamb with rosemary, or aged cheddar cheese.
  • Asian Pairing: Mongolian beef, black pepper beef stir-fry, cumin-spiced lamb skewers, or rich braised pork belly.
