Xige Estate
Among China’s domestic producers, zodiac wines are common, particularly for estates with a strong local focus. Xige Estate, a leading winery from the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia, is one such example.
The 2026 Xige Year of the Horse Limited Edition (2021 vintage) was released in November 2025. The wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Gernischt, aged for 12 months in oak, with a limited production of 6,000 cases.
The design draws inspiration from the bold spirit of Li Bai’s poem Bring in the Wine, using the image of the “five famous horses” to symbolise ambition and forward momentum. Floral elements such as dahlias and gladioli evoke prosperity and optimism at the start of the year, reflecting Xige’s proactive stance amid industry transformation.
The wine is bottled at 750ml and priced at RMB 328 per bottle.
