2024 Mulando M268 Marselan 750ml

About the Variety Marselan is a red French grape variety created in 1961 by Paul Truel near the town of Marseillan in southern France. It is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache. Originally cultivated in the Languedoc region, Marselan has since found new expression in China, where it thrives under ideal climatic and soil conditions. The grape typically produces medium to full-bodied wines with fine tannins, vivid color, and bright, elegant fruit. Tasting Notes This 2024 vintage from Mulando’s M268 vineyard captures the finesse and complexity of Ningxia’s Helan Mountain East region. The wine opens with aromas of blackberries, cassis, and violets, layered with subtle oak spice and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, with ripe fruit, silky tannins, and a long, persistent finish that reflects both power and grace. Serving Suggestions Decanting: Recommended for about 15 minutes before serving. Serving Temperature: 12–16°C Food Pairing: Ideal with grilled lamb chops, roasted beef ribs, or braised duck. Its refined tannins and layered fruit make it a versatile companion to both Chinese and Western cuisine.
