About this wine

A signature blend from Xige Estate, located in Ningxia, China’s premier wine region.
Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Gernischt, this wine expresses the estate’s modern precision and respect for Ningxia’s unique terroir.
The name “N°50” marks the latitude of the vineyard — a symbol of balance between sunlight, altitude, and craftsmanship.
Structured, elegant, and expressive, it stands among China’s most acclaimed contemporary red wines.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby color with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and subtle spice.
The palate is full-bodied and layered, showing ripe dark fruit, tobacco, and a touch of oak.
Polished tannins and balanced acidity lead to a long, dry finish with notes of cedar and cocoa.

Vinification

Traditional fermentation with temperature control to preserve varietal purity.
Matured partly in oak to enhance structure and complexity while maintaining freshness.
