Product Notes

Kanaan Winery Riesling is a complex and elegant white wine that embodies the essence of the Shaanxi region in China. Produced using the most selective grapes, the wine is known for its crisp acidity, smooth texture, and intense mineral flavors. Kanaan Winery adopts an innovative winemaking approach, allowing the grapes to ripen naturally and develop a unique flavor profile that reflects the region's terroir. The result is a well-balanced Riesling with a fruity aroma, a subtle hint of honey and peach, and a lingering finish that makes this wine an excellent pairing for spicy Asian dishes or seafood. With its vibrant personality and distinctive taste, Kanaan Winery Riesling is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

The nose shows aromas of grapefruit, green apple and lime blossom with a slight hint of petrol. Flavours of lemon and white flowers are concentrated on the palate. This wine is full-bodied with bright and zesty acidity.

About the Winery

Kanaan Winery

Kanaan Winery is one of the most famous boutique wineries in China. Established and managed by Wang Fang, the winery resides at the eastern foothills of Ningxia’s Helan Mountain. The esteemed winemaker is of Chinese-German descent who completed her winemaking studies at the Giessen University of Germany in 2000. In 2011, she moved to Ningxia and invited renowned German winemakers to established Kanaan Winery with her. Since then, the winery has received fame and recognition globally at a notable pace and rate. It even got jointly recommended by Bernard Burtschy, Ian D’Agata, and Jancis Robinson. 

Wang Fang has the nickname, Crazy Fang. It originated from her desire for establishing a full-fledged and operational winery without any prior experience in the field. Now, Kanaan Winery represents Wang Fang’s longing and devotion for high class and quality of the wine. It serves as an expression of her love for Ningxia and horses. The winery follows a horse theme and motif. It is a tribute to the ancient local term for horse or “Helan” and thus the Helan Mountains. Kanaan winery also accolades Wang Fang’s respect and love for Ningxia, her homeland. 

In the journey of Kanaan Winery’s establishment, Wang fang’s father had a considerable influence. He played a significant role in developing the viticulture processes and methods to produce high-quality wines in Ningxia. The vineyards he took care of and planted almost 15 years back serve as the base for the best wines in China now. It stands true for drinks from both Kanaan and other promising wine producers and makers in Ningxia. 

In today’s time, Kanaan Winery produces six distinct wines, four red and two white. The former comprises Wild Pony, Crazy Fang, Pretty Pony, and Black Beauty. On the other hand, the latter consists of Semi-Sweet White Wine and Riesling.
