From Legacy Peak in China’s Ningxia region, the Family Heritage 2022 is a refined Bordeaux-style blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, sourced from the estate’s best high-altitude vineyards (1,100-1,200 meters) on the Helan Mountain’s eastern foothills, featuring gravelly, sandy-loam soils that impart exceptional concentration and structure. Hand-harvested grapes from the outstanding 2022 vintage—marked by ideal ripening conditions yielding rich yet balanced fruit—undergo meticulous sorting, cold soak, fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, and 20 months’ aging in French oak barrels (70% new) to foster integration and depth. As the pinnacle of Legacy Peak’s portfolio, this limited-production wine yields a deep garnet red with vibrant intensity and majestic aging potential.
Tasting Notes An elegant, powerful red with ripe black fruit and refined oak, reflecting Ningxia’s high-altitude terroir. The nose reveals cassis, black plum, dark chocolate, and hints of graphite, cedar, and violet. On the palate, it is full-bodied and seamless, with velvety tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark berries, espresso, and mineral earthiness, leading to a long, harmonious finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Family Heritage earned 95 points from James Suckling for its opulent fruit, polished structure, and exceptional balance.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 60-90 minutes of decanting to unfold aromas. Ideal with roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or aged cheeses. Enjoy now through 2038, developing profound leather and truffle complexity over time.
