Jia Bei Lan Chardonnay, Helan Qingxue Vineyard 加貝蘭霞多麗白葡萄酒 2021

The winery was established in 2005 by two legendary figures in the local wine industry, Rong Jian and Wang Fengyu, along with the young winemaker Zhang Jing. In 2013, they invited Professor Li Demei to be the wine advisor, one of the top ten most influential wine consultants in the world according to "The Drinks Business" magazine, to join their team. 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.

「嵯峨高聳鎮西陲，勢壓群山培樓隨。積雪日烘岩冗餘，曉雲晴駐岫峰奇。喬松風偃蟠龍曲，怪石冰消臥虎危。屹若金城天設險，雄藩萬載壯邦畿。」 - 朱元璋的第十六個兒子慶靖王朱旃 。賀蘭晴雪是與黃沙古渡、官橋柳色等齊名的寧夏八景之一，據說當時在六月，仍能看到藍天晴空下，賀蘭山上的皚皚白雪，景觀蔚為壯觀。朱旃曾經鎮守寧夏，有感於賀蘭晴雪奇景 。
