Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2023 vintage—marked by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by partial barrel aging to enhance texture and complexity. As part of the acclaimed Jia Bei Lan series from the winery founded in 2005 by Rong Jian, Wang Fengyu, and winemaker Zhang Jing with consultant Li Demei, this production yields a deep lemon wine with green highlights and approachable elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e A creamy, balanced Chardonnay with generous citrus aromas, crisp apple notes, and soft vanilla nuances, offering a nicely concentrated palate with ripe lemon and roasted pineapple hints.
