Brand: Kanaan Winery
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Vintage: 2015
ABV: 14.5%
Who/What/How:
- Kanaan Winery sits in close relation to the Ningxia Helan Mountains in China. The area has a long-standing symbolic bond with horses who were integral to mountain life in this part of ancient China. The 'Pretty Pony' is Kanaan Winery's nod to this fact.
Taste:
- The Pretty Pony blends 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Merlot. This 2015 vintage has really begun to develop and show the signs of ageing. Fresh fruit flavours of blackcurrant and plum persist, but they've begun to nestle below more powerful notes of figs, cooked cherries, coffee, cinnamon and dark chocolate.
