Description
 
Silver Heights is a family-owned winery from Ningxia, founded by Gao Lin and his daughter Emma Gao in 2007. Emma is the owner and winemaker; she finished her Diplome Natiotel d'Enologie in Bordeaux and several winemaking experiences in top chateaus, such as Calon Ségur, before returning to Ningxia to develop their piece of paradise. The 70 hectares of the estate acquired in 2012 comprised two vineyards, Jinshan vineyard (40 ha) to the south of Xiayingzi vineyard (30 ha) are within a short drive. By 2015, all Silver Heights wines are produced from estate-grown fruit, advanced water conservation system, using targeted drip irrigation. There are horses, donkeys, sheep living on the farm to enhance biodiversity. In 2017, Silver Heights started converting to biodynamic practices from organic (since the beginning), producing their top cuvées with minimal intervention winemaking, using only wild yeast fermentation, minimal sulphur, and without filtration; all the wines I received are from 2017 and beyond. The vineyards have been Chinese Organic certified since 2020 and currently converting to Demeter Biodynamic Certification.

Fermented using wild yeast, and slowly racked to avoid filtration. The wine is aged for 12 months in new French barrels. There are two soil types in the Helan Mountain Eastern Foothills wine region: Sierozem and Eolian. 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. Eolian soil is made of wind deposited materials that consist primarily of sand or silt-sized particles. Silver Heights’ vineyards are all on Sierozem soil, with a high concentration of gravel.
