Mulando, 'M365', Cabernet-Merlot Red 2020
DESCRIPTION
Made in China takes on a whole new meaning with Mulando. Fang Wang, a Chinese-born German businesswoman, decided to name her wine company after the famed warrior Mulan (yes, like the Disney movie). Similarly to this folklorish heroine, Fang Wang is a woman in a man’s world, doing what she can to carve her place in the Chinese and international wine market. The M365 red is an 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot blend, whereby the plum and blackberry stroll hand in hand through the oaky and herbaceous notes of the forest. This wine is generously full, with tannins that stroke the palate, up until the invigoratingly bitter finish. It would partner up quite nicely with guinea fowl or a vegetable couscous or stir fry.
REGION
Ningxia
China
A flourishing wine region in the North-West of China, Ningxia is yet to be discovered by many wine lovers. Set along the east foothill of Helan Mountain, China's most significant wine-producing region is increasingly being recognised on the world stage, notably its complex, well-balanced wines. The warm, continental climate of Ningxia enables a high sugar accumulation, slow ripening process and deep flavour profile, creating an incredibly unique palate.
