From Legacy Peak in China’s Ningxia region, the Kalavinka Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a refined 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the estate’s high-altitude vineyards (1,100-1,200 meters) on the Helan Mountain’s eastern foothills, featuring gravelly, sandy-loam soils with excellent drainage that impart concentration and finesse. Hand-harvested grapes from the exceptional 2021 vintage—marked by warm days and cool nights yielding balanced ripeness and acidity—undergo meticulous sorting, cold soak, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, and 18 months’ aging in French oak barrels (50% new) to enhance structure and integration. As a flagship of China’s emerging fine wine scene, this production yields a deep ruby wine with vibrant intensity and remarkable aging potential.

Tasting Notes An elegant, structured red with ripe blackcurrant and subtle oak spice, reflecting Ningxia’s high-altitude terroir. The nose reveals cassis, black cherry, graphite, and hints of toasted vanilla, cedar, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and poised, with firm yet polished tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark plum, licorice, and mineral earthiness, leading to a long, persistent finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2021 Kalavinka Cabernet Sauvignon earned 94 points from James Suckling for its opulent fruit, refined tannins, and seamless balance.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 60 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with grilled lamb, beef tenderloin, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2036, developing greater leather and truffle complexity over time.
