From Helan Qingxue Vineyard in China's Ningxia, the Jia Bei Lan Baby Feet Marselan 2019 is a refined 100% Marselan sourced from the estate's demonstration vineyard at 1,138 meters elevation on the eastern slopes of Helan Mountain, featuring gravelly and loamy soils that impart balance and freshness. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2019 vintage—characterized by warm conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months' aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and elegance. As part of the experimental "Baby Feet" series named after winemaker Zhang Jing's daughter, this limited-production wine from the Ningxia Second Growth winery founded in 2005 with consultant Professor Li Demei emphasizes sustainable practices, yielding a ruby red wine with garnet edges and harmonious poise.

Tasting Notes A juicy, medium-bodied Ningxia Marselan with ripe redcurrant, cherry, and subtle herbaceous notes, delivering a fresh, berry-driven palate with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a crisp, savory finish that lingers with elegance. The nose reveals cherries, strawberries, and hints of herbs with a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and poised, with balanced acidity, fine tannins, and flavors of red fruit, spice, and mineral earthiness, leading to a long, refreshing finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2019 Baby Feet Marselan earned 91 points from Decanter for its ripe red fruit opulence and elegant balance in the Bronze category of the Decanter World Wine Awards.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 30-45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with grilled poultry, roasted vegetables, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2032, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
