The grape source for the 2024 Xige® Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Red Wine comes from Xige's own vineyards, with vines aged over 25 years. The wine is made from a blend of old vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Gernischt. It is aged in 300L French oak barrels (85%) and 300L American oak barrels (10%) for 12-18 months. To preserve the fruit aromas, 5% of the wine is kept unoaked. After bottling, the wine undergoes an additional 18-24 months of aging before being labeled for sale.

Established in 2017, Xige Winery is one of the most exciting emerging wine projects in China. Xige Winery is a state-of-the-art, modern winery with over 1,300 hectares of vineyards, including more than 1,000 hectares planted with vines that have a maturity period of 20 years. This has solidified their rapid success as one of the leading premium wine brands in China. Xige Winery was founded by Zhang Yanzhi, who previously worked as a winemaker for Changyu Pioneer Wine Company. Joining him is Christelle Chene, who was born in Burgundy and has served as the Export Sales Director in China, dedicated to promoting Ningxia wines and Chinese wines worldwide.

Xige Winery's wines have gained international attention, with Chinese President Xi Jinping selecting Xige's Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot blend during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on his visit to China in April. Prior to that, Xige Winery had already made its mark in the international wine scene when it exported a batch of wines worth £124,000 to the United Kingdom, breaking the record for the highest export value of a single batch of wine from Ningxia. In 2019, Xige Winery became the first winery in China to receive the internationally recognized BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard certification. Currently, Xige Winery's products are sold in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, as well as the Hong Kong and Macau regions of China.

蒼龍教子 萬象傳承
上古蚊龍，飛天入水，緊花之中，蒼龍教子
在風土與時間之間，用技藝書寫傳承
借大麗花、向花與鈴蘭等花卉打造而成的空中花海
將密世昌隆、富員吉祥、純粹的熱情
與磅碼的生命力奇於新年
在2024龍年的開第迎接新機遇
觀文化覺醒，望神韻充盈
讓中國南面酒的傳承更具溫度

2024年西鴿®龍年生肖紀念幹紅葡萄酒的葡萄原料來自西鴿自有葡萄園25年以上樹齡的老藤赤霞珠、蛇龍珠混釀，使用12-18個月的300升法國橡木桶（85%）和300升美國橡木桶（10%）進行陳釀。為保持果香，有5%的葡萄酒未經橡木桶陳釀。裝瓶後，葡萄酒需再經過額外的18-24個月熟成，然後才貼上標籤出售。

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。2019年，西鴿酒莊成為中國首家獲得國際認可的「BRCGS全球食品安全標準」認證的酒莊。目前，西鴿酒莊產品銷售英國、澳洲、加拿大等國家地區以及中國香港、澳門地區。
