Chinese Red Wines
Helpful specialist wine shop from China offering a range of interesting wines from mostly smaller producers. A sort of antidote to the increasing anonymity and sameness of the big chain stores.

Kanaan Winery, Pretty Pony Ningxia Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, 2014 (Case) Per Bottle: £36.00
Available to order
On the nose, the Pretty Pony displays bright and forward blackberry and currant fruit aromas, which give way to an elegant and refined palate, with finely structured tannins. We are not the only admirers of this wine, as the 2013 vintage picked up the Decanter Asia Wine Awards� Regional Trophy for Ningxia in 2015, proof that Fang may not be so crazy after all.
