[YingYing And LeLe Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 盈盈樂樂赤霞珠干紅葡萄酒 2024]

Chateau Bacchus is located in the premium wine region of Ningxia Helan Mountain's eastern foothills in China. It is one of the early boutique wineries engaged in estate wine production in China, with exceptional terroir. In the 2019 ranking of classified wineries in the Ningxia Helan Mountain's eastern foothills wine region, it was rated as a second-class winery.

The creation of the winery began with a romantic encounter. The owner, Ms. Wang Yanhui, and her husband, Mr. Wang Sanwei, fell in love at first sight in France. They made a promise in front of the statue of Bacchus, the ancient Roman god of wine: they would definitely produce "wine made by the Chinese themselves."In 1999, the owner personally planted the first vine, began constructing their own vineyard, and established the winery.In 2008, the winery produced its first estate wine, marking the beginning of the Helan Mountain East Foothills wine industry.

The vineyard of the winery covers an area of 1,000 acres and currently mainly cultivates Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Gernischt, Merlot, Syrah, and Vidal.The region has a continental arid and semi-arid climate, with ample sunlight, low rainfall, and significant temperature differences between day and night, which are conducive to the accumulation of flavor compounds in the grapes.The soil in the vineyard is gravelly, with excellent aeration and drainage, making it very suitable for grape growth.

In grape cultivation, the winery manages the vineyard with vertical distribution, prunes twice a season, and uses drip irrigation for watering.In addition, the winery does not use any pesticides to reduce the impact on the natural environment.In the winemaking process, the grapes are hand-picked and destemmed, then the staff macerate the grape berries before placing them into a pneumatic press for pressing.The juice after pressing will be placed in stainless steel tanks to ferment for seven days, during which tartaric acid will be added, followed by malolactic fermentation.The wine after fermentation will be aged in French Radoux oak barrels for twelve months, followed by protein fining and bottling.The wine produced in this manner has a balanced structure and a rich mouthfeel.

In addition, the winery places great emphasis on the power of technology and talent, having built a winery that blends traditional and modern techniques, as well as a temperature- and humidity-controlled underground cellar. They collaborate with institutions such as the Ningxia University Wine Institute, the CAFA Wine Institute in Bordeaux, France, and the Ningxia Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences to provide strong technological and talent support for grape cultivation and wine production.The winery places great emphasis on brand culture construction, not only organizing wine-making experience activities and professional wine and food pairing tasting events but also hosting unique festive activities such as music festivals, hop festivals, grape-picking festivals, and ice wine festivals.The winery also collaborated with contemporary renowned painter Ms. Qian Linge to design a private high-end custom wine series called "The Sound of Flowers Blooming." Additionally, they partnered with the China BVT Wine Trading Center to launch a high-end corporate custom wine series called "Secret," which is authorized by the French CAFA Sommelier Training Institution.

Since its establishment, the winery's numerous high-quality wines have repeatedly won awards at international competitions.The year 2017 was a remarkable year for the winery, as its wines won numerous awards in various competitions.At the Asia Wine & Spirits Awards (AWSA) held in Hong Kong in 2017, the 2015 Chateau Bacchus Superfine Merlot won a gold medal, the 2013 Chateau Bacchus Superfine Cabernet Sauvignon won a double gold medal, and the 2014 and 2015 Chateau Bacchus Superfine Cabernet Sauvignon won gold medals.That same year, the 2014 and 2015 vintages of Chateau Bacchus Cabernet Sauvignon also performed excellently at the International Wine Spirits Competition (ISC).
