Vintage Character The 2019 Lansai Winery Jasmine Cabernet Sauvignon Dry Red Wine is a compelling showcase of Ningxia’s evolving terroir, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes cultivated in the foothills of the Helan Mountains. The 2019 vintage in Ningxia benefited from a warm, dry growing season with pronounced diurnal temperature swings, fostering ripe, concentrated fruit and firm yet polished tannins—a combination that has made this year particularly favorable for the region’s reds. Aromatically, the wine opens with classic notes of cassis and ripe plum, complemented by delicate jasmine blossom, subtle cedar, and a gentle touch of spice.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, layers of dark cherry and blackberry are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a lingering floral finish that distinguishes this wine from more traditional Cabernet Sauvignons. Its unique aromatic profile lends versatility at the table, pairing seamlessly with dishes such as grilled lamb chops, aged Manchego cheese, hearty Western stews, or the aromatic richness of Peking duck.
