The left bank is clay and sandstone; the right bank is clay with slate and schist. The high-altitude, cool climate preserves tight, vivid acidity even in a warm-climate grape like Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrapes are hand-sorted and 100% hand-destemmed by local Tibetan villagers. Fermentation relies on wild yeast with gentle extraction; the wine is unfined, unfiltered, and made with extremely minimal sulfur. It ages 18 months in French oak, 40% new, with each parcel vinified separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Cru Tasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep garnet-red. With a higher share of Cabernet Sauvignon than the 2021, this vintage leans firmer and more structured: dark cassis and blackcurrant, joined by dried herb, graphite, and a savory, slightly rustic edge from the unfined, unfiltered approach. Cool-climate acidity keeps everything taut and lifted, while 18 months in French oak (40% new) adds a frame of cedar and fine-grained tannin without heavy toast. Built for structure and terroir expression rather than immediate fruit-forward drinking — a wine that rewards patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Muxin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57133973045414,"sku":"DM-RD-02","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5116\/3046\/files\/DM-RD-02_DomaineMuxinRouge2020_std_white_bg.png?v=1787452326","url":"https:\/\/highcru.com\/products\/domaine-muxin-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-2020","provider":"High Cru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
