Hand-harvested grapes from the exceptional 2018 vintage—marked by ideal ripening conditions yielding concentrated yet elegant fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 18 months' aging in French oak barrels (50% new) to enhance complexity and silkiness. Founded in 2005 with consultant Professor Li Demei, this winery, a Ningxia Second Growth, emphasizes sustainable practices and yields a deep ruby wine with garnet edges and profound harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e A creamy, full-bodied Ningxia Cabernet with blackcurrant, blackberry, dark chocolate, and sweet spices, framed by velvety tannins and a long, cocoa-dusted finish that rivals top Bordeaux.
