Helan Qingxue Vineyard

Ningxia, China

About

Helan Qingxue put Ningxia on the global wine map when its Jia Bei Lan Cabernet Sauvignon won the Decanter World Wine Awards trophy in 2011 — the first time a Chinese wine had taken that prize. The winery sits at the foot of the Helan Mountains in one of China's most promising wine appellations, where altitude, sandy soils, and intense sunshine create conditions surprisingly suited to Bordeaux varieties.

Why It's a Hidden Gem

The winery that made the world take Chinese wine seriously — a trailblazer in a region that most wine drinkers have never heard of.
