Considered to be one of China’s top wineries, Kanaan is located at the foothills of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia, about 1,000 kilometres west of Beijing. Kanaan means ‘the land of milk and honey’, signifying the hope for Ningxia to be one of China’s leading fine wine regions. The horses on the label reference the Helan Mountains, as ‘helan’ translates to horses in ancient Chinese. The winery was founded in 2011 by Fang Wang, whose father Wang Feng Yu was a pioneering viticulturist in Ningxia. Fang is nicknamed ‘Crazy Fang’ due to her ‘crazy’ idea of establishing a winery with no prior experience and embarking on the near-impossible mission of growing Riesling in Ningxia. Fang spent 12 years abroad, including a significant period in Germany where she acquired her love of Riesling.
