西鴿酒莊成立於2017年，是中國最令人興奮的新興葡萄酒項目之一。西鴿酒莊是一個全新的、現代化的釀酒廠，擁有超過1300公頃的葡萄園，其中有1000多公頃都種植著擁有20年成熟期的葡萄藤。這鞏固了他們的快速成功，成為中國同行中領先的優質葡萄酒品牌之一。西鴿酒莊由張言志擔任首席釀酒師創立，他曾是張裕酒業的釀酒師。與他一起的是克里斯泰爾·舒涅（Christelle Chene），她出生於勃艮第，曾在中國擔任出口銷售總監，並致力於向全世界推廣寧夏葡萄酒以及中國葡萄酒。

西鴿酒莊的葡萄酒在國際上引起了關注，中國國家主席習近平在會見4月訪華的法國總統馬克龍時，選擇了西鴿赤霞珠與蛇龍珠混釀的葡萄酒。在此之前，西鴿酒莊也已經在國際葡萄酒界佔據了一席之地，當時酒莊向英國出口了價值12.4萬英鎊的一批葡萄酒，打破了寧夏單批葡萄酒出口價值最高的記錄。

N609，致敬2020年6月9日習近平總記來訪寧夏的偉大時刻。以西鴿的「赤霞珠+蛇龍珠混釀」為底，獨創性的加進入「明日之星」馬爾貝克，具備堪比國際名莊的深陷與復度，也帶著迷人喜悅的百合花香。
