Product Description
Xige Estate Jade Dove Single Vineyard Cabernet Gernischt 2021 stands as China's finest wine achievement, crowned #1 in James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of China 2025 and awarded Chinese Wine of the Year. This exceptional single-vineyard expression showcases 100% Cabernet Gernischt (Carménère) from 20-year-old vines in Ningxia's Eastern Helan Mountains, where founder Zhang Yanzhi—holder of France's prestigious DNO and Bordeaux ISVV winemaking diplomas—has unlocked this variety's remarkable potential. With 90,000 bottles produced, this wine disproves notions that Chinese wines are overpriced or lack character, offering outstanding quality at approximately US$66.
Award-Winning Profile
The 2021 vintage reveals herbal and leathery aromas with intense red dates, sea buckthorn, raspberry, strawberry jam, sage, licorice, and violet. Full-bodied with 14.5% alcohol, the palate showcases briar, bramble, luscious black fruit, and oak-derived toast and smoke notes. Fresher acidity meets a solid yet silky tannin backbone with delicate refinement—"the most elegant Ningxia Cab Gernischt" according to Master of Wine judges. The long, savory finish displays exceptional balance.
