White Peach, Lemon Blossom, Toasted Brioche, and Helan Mountain Tension

The 2024 Legacy Peak Chardonnay is an elegant, finely etched white from Ningxia’s Helan Mountain East Foothills. Sourced from high-altitude estate vineyards, it unfolds pure aromas of white peach, crisp green apple, lemon curd, and lightly toasted brioche. Medium-bodied and silky, it balances juicy orchard fruit against crystalline mountain acidity and fine mineral tension, finishing clean, savory, and remarkably persistent.

Highlights

  • 100% estate-grown Chardonnay from Legacy Peak (留世酒庄), situated directly against the majestic Helan Mountain range in Ningxia.
  • Grown on high-elevation alluvial terraces (over 1,100 meters above sea level) on gravelly, sandy loam and limestone-rich soils, delivering pristine fruit purity and stony minerality.
  • Marked by sharp diurnal temperature variations and cool alpine mountain air, preserving brilliant natural acidity and taut varietal precision.
  • Fermented and aged in French oak barriques on fine lees, imparting subtle brioche, almond blossom, and fine textural polish without obscuring its mineral spine.
  • From the vibrant, well-delineated 2024 Ningxia harvest; prime drinking window now through 2031+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, pale straw-yellow with subtle green tints, it opens with pure, elegant aromas of ripe white peach, crunchy green apple, and lemon zest, seamlessly layered with acacia blossom, toasted brioche, crushed limestone, and a delicate touch of almond. The palate is medium-bodied, silky, and focused, balancing succulent stone fruit across a spine of crisp, energetic acidity and fine phenolic texture, concluding on a clean, savory, and delicately mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 10–12°C in standard Burgundy or universal white wine glassware.
  • Decanting: A brief 15 to 20 minutes in the glass allows its subtle oak spices and crisp floral perfume to blossom. Best enjoyed now through 2031+.
