Zaxee Sparking Chardonnay 扎西霞多麗氣泡酒 2024

Zaxee Sparkling Chardonnay 2024 – crafted at 2,500m in Yunnan’s Shangri-La, China’s highest-altitude sparkling wine. Fine, persistent bubbles with crisp apple, pear, brioche and mineral notes. Light, vibrant, and elegant—like the first sunrise over snow-capped peaks. Aged in a Tibetan cellar cooled by glacial meltwater. Only 20,000 bottles. 

扎西霞多麗氣泡酒2024｜產自雲南香格里拉梅里雪山海拔2500米，中國最高海拔氣泡酒。氣泡細膩持久，蘋果與梨子清新交織布里歐麵包與礦物芬芳，如雪峰晨光般輕盈生機。酸度均衡，餘韻悠長優雅。藏式酒窖以雪山融水恆溫熟成，年產僅2萬瓶。

Zaxee Winery sits above 2,300 meters on the Jinsha River in Benzilan, Deqin County—Shangri-La’s remote highlands, wrapped by the Hengduan Mountains. “Zaxee” means “good fortune” in Tibetan, drawn from the greeting “Tashi Delek.” Founder Mr. Quan Shiping (全世平先生), a graduate of Northwest A&F University’s enology program, moved here a decade ago with a simple philosophy: respect nature and carry forward Tibetan heritage. He turned barren slopes into a boutique winery blending Tibetan architecture with modern winemaking, anchored by a 500-year-old walnut tree and a cellar—once a cattle shed—naturally cooled by glacial meltwater.

Producing fewer than 20,000 bottles a year, Zaxee has won awards at Decanter and the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Its flagship “Zaxee Grand Zaxee 2560 Altitude Winemaker's Reserve Dry Red” is listed in the China Wine Yearbook and defines fine dining in Shangri-La. Honored as “China’s highest-altitude boutique winery,” its Cabernet Sauvignon—called the “Red Gem of the Hengduan Mountains.”

Tasting note: Like the first ray of sunlight over the snow-capped mountains - light and full of vitality. Aromas of apple and pear mingle with notes of brioche and mineral fermentation, offering endless layers of complexity. The acidity is balanced, the bubbles fine and persisitent, the palate refreshing with a long, elegant finish.

扎西酒莊位於雲南香格里拉德欽縣奔子欄鎮，葡萄園坐落於金沙江畔海拔2300米以上的高原，環抱於橫斷山脈之間。「扎西」取自藏語「扎西德勒」，寓意吉祥如意。創辦人全世平先生秉持「尊重自然，傳承藏韻」的理念，自西北農林大學畢業後扎根三江並流腹地，歷時十年將荒坡打造為融合藏式建築與現代釀酒工藝的精品酒莊。莊內500年核桃古樹與由牛棚改建的藏式酒窖，巧妙利用雪山融水形成天然恆溫陳釀環境。

酒莊屢獲Decanter、布魯塞爾等國際大獎，旗艦酒「大扎西2560干紅」入選《中國葡萄酒年鑑》，成為香格里拉高端餐飲代表。年產不足兩萬瓶，卻以「中國海拔最高的精品酒莊」之譽，將被譽為「橫斷山脈的紅色寶石」的赤霞珠推向世界，以風味傳遞藏地的純淨與祝福。

品酒筆記：如雪峰之上初升的晨光，輕盈而充滿生機。蘋果與梨子的清新果香，交融著布里歐麵包與礦物感發酵氣息，層次豐富，韻味無窮。酸度均衡，氣泡細膩持久，口感清爽，餘韻悠長而優雅。
