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".
Cabernet Sauvignon is a traditional fine red variety that is used to make many of the World's top quality wines.
By making a Cabernet Sauvignon single varietal through a gentle extraction of tannins and with a proper ageing, Xige N28 Cabernet Sauvignon not only challenges the typical strong character of Cabernet Sauvignon, but also allows the variety to express all the flavors that it has concentrated under the Ningxia terroir.
Intense and full-bodied, showing yet extremely delicate and elegant tannins, it is a significant change in the development of the Helan Mountain Wine style. Its mellow taste with some sweetness is just simply“delicious”, and smoothing itself into your mouth without any kind of pressure.
James Suckling 89-90 Points:
"A fruity style, rich in blackcurrants, currant leaves and dried herbs. There is a menthol note, too. Medium-bodied with a juicy center-palate, rounded by tight, fine-grained tannins. Medium length, brimming with sweet-and-sour fruit and currant leaf. 100% cabernet sauvignon. Very approachable. Drink or hold." --Tasted on Nov 30, 2021

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。
赤霞珠是釀造紅葡萄酒的傳統優良品種,不少世界頂級葡萄釀酒均採用赤霞珠葡萄酒釀造。西鴿N28赤霞珠不只是挑戰傳統赤霞珠雄厚的味道,也讓產品的味道在寧夏風土集中表達,是對賀蘭山東麓產區風格發展的歷史性記錄。圓潤甘美,直截了當地的「好喝」,即方便暢飲也毫無壓力。
James Suckling 給予89-90分評價:
這是一款果味濃鬱的葡萄酒,富含黑加侖、加侖葉和乾香草的味道。還有一種薄荷的氣息。中等酒體,中段呈多汁的口感,由緊密、細緻的單寧烘托出。中等長度,充滿甜酸水果和加侖葉的味道。 100%的赤霞珠葡萄酒。非常容易入口。現在就可以享用或陳年。 ——於2021年11月30日品嚐
