Situated in the Dove Mountain Area, in the heart of the Helan Mountain Wine Region, Xige Estate currently owns a total of 2,000 hectares of planted vines. 

As Fine Wine producer with scale, Xige's Philosophy is to combine Modern Technology with the Respect of Nature, to constantly explore the Potential and the Future of Ningxia Terroir.

Founded in 2017 by Zhang Yanzhi, Xige Estate is a young winery that is challenging & leading the development of a New Era of Chinese Fine Wine.  Zhang is the holder of France National Enology Diploma (DNO) and Bordeaux ISVV Winemaker Diploma. He embrace one goal to heart: to make wines that show  "A PURE EXPRESSION OF HELAN MOUNTAIN TERROIR". 

Originally from South of France, Malbec has found fame in Argentina. Located in the Ningxia Helan Mountain Wine Region that bares a common high altitude with Mendoza, Xige Estate has foreseen the great potential of this variety and planted it for the first time in the Region on a large scale. Even with its current young vines, this variety has already bloomed with infinite charm in the Helan Mountain Region, and will most definitely shine greater in the future.

It shows charming fragrant orchid lily aromas followed by layers of violet and rose. On the palate, it is smooth with fine persistent tannins, you will be enchanted by its delightful and graceful style.

James Suckling 88 Points:
"A very fruity malbec with some jammy blackberries, purple fruit, dried lychee and violets. Medium-bodied on the palate with juicy fruit and soft tannins followed by a simple, slightly herbaceous finish. Very smoothly rendered without any hard edges. Drink now." --Tasted on Nov 21, 2022

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。

馬爾貝克源自法國南部,成名於阿根廷。在與知名的阿根廷門多薩同樣高海拔的寧夏賀蘭山東麓。西鴿預判該品種的潛力,在2017年將其在產區內首次規模化種植。 2019年,我們對這批第一年掛果的馬爾貝克做了少量的嘗試,雖然是在極年輕的樹齡,卻已然綻放出迷人香氣和令人驚喜的品質,堪稱產區的「明日之星」品種。

James Suckling 給予88分評價:
這是一款非常果味濃鬱的馬爾貝克葡萄酒,帶有一些果醬般的黑莓、紫色水果、乾荔枝和紫羅蘭的味道。在口感上,中等酒體,具有多汁的果味和柔軟的單寧,後續是簡單、略帶草本風味的收尾。非常平滑,沒有任何粗糙的邊緣。現在就可以享用。 ——於2022年11月21日品嚐
