Silver Heights Jia Yuan Marselan 2023
Proof that Chinese wine from the Ningxia region deserves the hype — and that vines buried each winter can still make something this refined.
Grape Varietals & Region: Marselan — a cross of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon — grown on the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains, Ningxia, China, on Sierozem desert soil with a high concentration of gravel. To survive the region's harsh, freezing winters, the vines are buried under 30cm of earth each year.
Taste Profile: Deep ruby red colour with a medium body and smooth tannins. Notes of raspberry, lychee floral character and liquorice, very easy to drink with a well-balanced finish.
Winemaking Process: Fermented using wild yeast, then slowly racked to avoid filtration. Aged 12 months in new French oak barrels.
Winemaker: Silver Heights was founded in 2007 by Lin Gao and his daughter Emma Gao, one of Ningxia's pioneering fine wine estates. Emma moved to France at 21 to study oenology at the University of Bordeaux — the first Chinese woman to earn the country's national oenologist diploma — where she met and married winemaker Thierry Courtade at Château Calon-Ségur before the pair returned to China together to build the winery. Silver Heights wine has since been served at state dinners, including to French President Emmanuel Macron in 2019.
