Jia Bei Lan Reserve Chardonnay, Helan Qingxue Vineyard 加貝蘭珍藏霞多麗白葡萄酒 2018
Award-winning (92 pts James Suckling) Helan Qingxue Reserve Chardonnay 2018 from Ningxia, China — a benchmark of premium Chinese fine wine, crafted with 30% new French oak and 13-year-old vines. Creamy, mineral-driven, and impeccably balanced, this medium-bodied Chardonnay reveals layers of ripe peach, baked lemon, vanilla, and brioche, finishing with vibrant acidity and a distinct stony elegance.
Sourced from Helan Qingxue Vineyard—the pioneering示范 (demonstration) estate at 1,138m elevation in the Helan Mountain foothills—this wine reflects Ningxia’s world-class terroir: arid desert climate, diurnal shifts, and mineral-rich gravel soils nurtured by the Yellow River. Aged 11 months in small-format French oak, it achieves remarkable freshness and precision, praised by James Suckling for its “transparent palate,” “chalky texture,” and “very fine creamy nose with roasted hazelnut and lemon sponge.” With a drinking window of 2023–2028, it stands as both a collectible and a testament to China’s ascendance in global fine wine—recognized by inclusion in the World Atlas of Wine and Ningxia’s official tiered classification system (awarded Second-Class Estate status in 2019).

“Very fine creamy nose with a touch of roasted hazelnut and pineapple, lemon sponge and a hint of brioche. Transparent on the palate with a tad more depth to this. Still quite chalky and dry with some fine lees adding the texture of this chardonnay. Very fresh, precise and bright." - James Sucking

Located at the foot of Helan Mountain, at an elevation of 1,138 meters, it is the first demonstration vineyard in the Ningxia region. The vineyard covers an area of 2.6 hectares and is planted with grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Gernischt, and Malbec, with an annual production of 60,000 bottles.
Ningxia's Helan Mountains stretch for over 200 kilometers, serving as a natural barrier against the Gobi Desert. The Yellow River flows through the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains, nurturing the fertile land of the Yinchuan Plain for thousands of years. The exceptional geographical, climatic, and soil conditions have given rise to high-quality grapes ideal for winemaking. Today, "Helan Mountain" has emerged as a rising star in the global wine industry. The Ningxia wine region was included for the first time in the "World Atlas of Wine," highlighting its growing recognition and professional status.

" 非常細膩的奶油香氣，帶有烤榛子和鳳梨、檸檬海綿蛋糕和一絲奶油餡餅的味道。口感透明，稍微有更多層次感。仍然相當粉筆般的口感和乾燥，一些精緻的酵母渣為這款霞多麗增添了質感。非常新鮮、精確和明亮。" - 詹姆斯·薩克林
