The Summit is Silver Heights' flagship wine created from a traditional Bordeaux blend.
Fun Fact:The name for this wine comes from a famous ancient Chinese poem that represents the spirit of the Ningxia people. By naming this wine “the summit”, Silver Heights proclaims their determination to produce world-class wines.
Grape Varietals & Region: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot from Sierozem soil in the Helan Mountain Eastern Foothills of Ningxia
Sierozem, a desert soil, is characterized by brownish gray color at the surface and lighter color below, and is based in a carbonate or hardpan layer. Different ratios of gravel, sand and clay within the Sierozem soil account for variations across wineries in the area.
Taste Profile: Dark colour with a narrow ruby ring. Classic blackcurrant notes are accompanied by vanilla spice, smoked meat and chocolate accents. Bountiful tannins, great fruit concentration and beautiful minerality on the full-bodied palate.
Winemaking Process: 100% hand picking and selection of the grapes. Cold maceration and temperature controlled fermentation. The wine ages in French oak barrels (70% new, 30% 1-year-old) for 18 months. Lees racking. Filtering by traditional Bordeaux methods to preserve complexity.
Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.
They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
