Tasting notes
Baixia is Domaine Fangsi's single-vineyard Cabernet Franc and one of its most acclaimed wines, with the 2019 rated 92 points by James Suckling. Expect ripe dark cherry and blackberry fruit with herbal, balsamic notes and hints of clove, a juicy, generous palate and fine structure. Serve at 16 to 18°C with grilled lamb, beef or spiced dishes.
About the Winery
Domaine Fangsi is a young boutique “garage” winery in Ningxia's Helan Mountain East Foothill, China's most acclaimed wine region. It was founded in 2022 by a group of young tasters and winemakers who want to show what independent Chinese winegrowers can achieve on the world stage, with creative cuvée names and serious quality.
The estate's 10 hectares of vines grow on poor, stony gravel soils at the foot of the Helan Mountains, which shield the vineyards from cold north-westerly winds. With around 3,000 hours of sunshine a year and wide day-night temperature swings, the grapes ripen fully while keeping freshness.
