留世 Legacy Peak Chardonnay 2023

Country: China
Region and Appellation: Ningxia

Legacy Peak Chardonnay 2023 from Ningxia pours bright straw with pineapple, ripe melon, lemon zest, and white flowers over a subtle chalk‑mineral core, leading to a medium‑to‑full‑bodied palate with lively acidity, a creamy mid‑palate, gentle hazelnut hints, and a long, finely oaked finish.

Vinification & Winemaking

Hand‑harvested Chardonnay is gently pressed, cold‑settled, and fermented across stainless steel and French oak with partial malolactic to build texture; about six months’ élevage integrates fruit and spice while preserving freshness and drive.

Vineyard

Estate parcels near the Western Xia Imperial Tombs at roughly 1,200–1,246 meters benefit from large diurnal swings and well‑drained sandy‑loam and limestone influences, yielding concentration, bright acidity, and a distinctive mineral line in this Ningxia white wine.

Background

Established in 1997, Legacy Peak is a Ningxia pioneer noted for estate fruit and older vines, with prior releases recognized in regional features for quality and site expression in Helan Mountain East.

Food pairing: superb with steamed grouper, soy‑ginger salmon, roast chicken, or crab fried rice.
