About the Wine

From the remote, high-altitude vineyards of Yunnan, Shangri-La Wine Company produces wines shaped by extreme conditions—intense sunlight, cool nights, and pristine mountain air. The Sacred Realm Legend Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 represents a serious step into fine wine territory, where structure and elegance meet. This is not experimental Chinese wine—it is deliberate, precise, and increasingly recognised on the global stage.

Tasting Experience

Colour
Deep garnet with rich concentration.

Aroma & Palate
Layered and expressive, showing blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum, supported by notes of cedar, tobacco and subtle spice. The palate is structured yet composed, with fine tannins and balanced acidity, allowing both fruit and oak to integrate seamlessly.

Body
Full-bodied with firm structure.

Finish
Long, persistent, with dark fruit and savoury complexity carrying through.

Why This Wine Matters

Yunnan is redefining what Chinese wine can be. At high altitudes, Cabernet Sauvignon develops both ripeness and freshness—something many warmer regions struggle to achieve. For Singapore drinkers, this wine offers a compelling alternative to traditional Bordeaux or New World Cabernets, combining familiarity of style with a completely different origin story. It is both accessible and quietly disruptive.
