[Silver Heights The Summit 2020 (闕歌)]
Silver Heights Vineyard was founded by Gao Lin and his daughter Gao Yuan in 2007, and is currently managed by Gao Yuan.Currently, Gao Yuan serves as both the owner and winemaker of the winery. She studied winemaking in Bordeaux, France, and obtained the French National Oenologist Diploma. She also interned for a period at the renowned 1855 Third Growth estate, Chateau Calon Segur.
The vineyard of the winery is located on the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains, at an altitude of 1,200 meters, in the grape-growing golden zone at 38°N latitude.The climate in this region is exceptionally dry, with ample sunlight and rare rainfall. The temperature difference between day and night can reach up to 15 ºC, which is conducive to the accumulation of sugars and phenolic compounds in the grapes, allowing them to maintain a high level of acidity even when fully ripe.The main soil types in the vineyard are clay loam, sandy gravel soil, and pebbles, with low organic matter content, making them relatively barren.Due to the cold winter, to prevent the grapevines from dying, the winery will use the earthing-up method, laying the grapevines flat on the ground and burying them to a depth of 30 centimeters to prevent the grapevines and root system from freezing.When spring arrives, the soil mound is removed, allowing the grapevines to return to their original state.The winery adheres to the concept of organic farming, strictly controlling the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides during the grape cultivation process, and implementing meticulous manual management for each grapevine.The main grape varieties planted in the vineyard are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Riesling.
