XIGE ESTATE Xige N28 Malbec 2023 (1x75cl)

Ningxia sits in northern China at altitude, with big day-to-night temperature swings — the kind of climate that tends to give reds ripe fruit while keeping them fresh. This N28 Malbec 2023 is a good way to see what that region does without overthinking it.

Open it on a weeknight with char siu, braised beef brisket or a lamb hotpot. It's also a talking point on a dinner table where nobody expects a Chinese red. Free Hong Kong delivery over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Malbec typically shows dark plum and blackberry with a violet lift and soft, rounded tannins. Usually best served slightly below room temperature — about 20 minutes in the fridge before pouring does the job.
