西鴿酒莊 酒莊創?者張?志先?，是由法國波爾多葡萄酒學院畢業的專業釀酒師，?志釀造出為專業??所喜愛、?銷世界的中國葡萄酒，從而引領中國精品葡萄酒走上品牌化之路。?鴿酒莊，正是為了這個?標?創?。

?鴿酒莊選址于寧夏賀蘭?東麓青銅峽鴿子山產區，賀蘭山東麓由于其得天獨厚的風土條件，被眾多國際專業??譽為“中國葡萄酒的未來”，并于2021年7月正式掛牌“寧夏國家葡萄及葡萄酒產業開放發展綜合試驗區”。而西鴿酒莊所處的鴿子山小產區更是適宜優質葡萄種植的黃金地帶。較大的風勢天然減少病蟲害，也賦予了葡萄清爽的果香。表層礪石沙質土，深處的紅色黏土，保水保肥的同時，令葡萄向下扎根，積聚復雜的風味。

酒莊的3萬余畝葡萄園中，有1.5萬畝種植著樹齡20余年的老藤葡萄，這里因而成為了目前中國較?的連??藤葡萄園。酒莊擁有特?品種蛇?珠，稀缺?藤?霞珠，霞多麗等。

葡萄園以?然?態種植理念與現代農業管理結合，以“尊重??、崇尚?然”為理念。栽種過程中，種植師?東北油松替代了傳統?泥筑，遵循?物動?栽培法。與此同時，酒莊依托智慧農業平臺所采集的?壤及周邊環境精確信息，根據不同葡萄品種、不同地塊特性設計了科學的精細化管理?案，以確保不斷提升種植品質。

酒莊總建筑?積約2.5萬平?，以近20萬塊賀蘭??壘成。設計兼具中國古城傳統和自然簡約的現代?格。酒莊內部配套有專業品鑒區及參觀路線，游客接待中?，莊園酒店及有機特?餐廳，旨在打造葡萄酒與?旅相結合的全產業鏈，為國?傳遞葡萄酒?化并樹立行業新標桿。

?鴿酒莊已推出?鴿N系列、西鴿X系列及?鴿系列產品線，產品類型包含標志性的混釀?紅，極具特?的單?園系列，亦有純凈清爽的桃紅和??產品。產品口感以純凈、優雅平衡、柔順又富有復雜度為特點，符合國人對葡萄酒的需求，也備受專業人士肯定。曾在Jancis Robinson評分中獲得17/20的高分，入選James Suckling2020年度中國十大葡萄酒、90%以上的產量獲得Robert Parker90分以上的高分，西鴿正牌更是在當時的中國酒評分中一馬當先。產品銷售網絡覆蓋全國大部分地區、電商、新零售及高端餐飲酒店渠道，同時也已進入加拿大、瑞士、英國等國際市場。

西鴿，以“釀一瓶寧夏風土的好葡萄酒”樸素理想，正在向世界講述中國葡萄酒的故事。

Xige Estate, founded in 2017, is a top winery which is the most world-leading and largest producer of quality wines at Helan Mountain’s east foothill wine region of Ningxia. It is also an innovative winery that seeks to blaze new trails for Chinese wines. Its founder Zhang Yanzhi, a Bordeaux L'Ecole du Vin trained winemaker, used to sit under Professor Denis Dubourdieu, who has been known as the “Godfather of world wines”, and is the first Chinese member in Académie du vin de Bordeaux. His goal is to make a “Chinese wine variety” liked by professionals and sold all over the world, and that’s why Xige Estate was founded.

Xige Estate is located in the Dove Mountain vineyards area in Qingtongxia at Helan Mountain’s east foothill of Ningxia. The Helan Mountain’s east foothill is praised as “the future of Chinese wines” by many international professionals, and Qingtongxia is the earliest area that has considerable plantings of vines, as well as a place with profound historical deposits, where the “Dove Mountain Site” from the Paleolithic age 10,000 years ago was preserved. Xige Estate currently has 1,333.33 hectares of vines in this area, including 1,000 hectares over 22 years old and the other 333.33 hectares newly planted since 2017. The cool and dry climate with sufficient sunshine and rich soil types including alluvial sand, clay soil and gravel in the fertile alluvium deposits at the foot of Helan Mountain have allowed a wide range of grape varieties to grow well here, including Cabernet Gernischt, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir for red and Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for white. Two dozen varieties including Marselan and Traminer are also tried and it is expected that varieties fitting local terroir better can be found. 

Built with nearly 200,000 stones from Helan Mountain, the circular-shaped Xige Estate Winery is like a fortress boasting a sleek design and Chinese motifs. The architectural structure with a round outside but square inside implies the quality of modesty and wisdom in Chinese traditional culture while also manifesting its ambition of becoming a world top winery. On its 25,000 km2 land, there are production workshops, oak barrel cellar, filling workshop, bottled aged wine cellar, professional tasting area, visitor center, winery hotel and organic restaurant. The most complete facilities and highest architectural standard in Ningxia enable it to have an annual designed capacity of 10 million bottles. 

Xige Estate is a winery with the most advanced production equipment in China, including the fermentation tanks with proprietary intellectual property rights, intelligent temperature-control brewing system from New Zealand, advanced pretreatment equipment from Germany and France, advanced filling line from Italy, vineyard intelligent agricultural control system and thousands of French oak barrels, which are quite necessary for the high production and high quality of wines. Based on the advanced equipment and high requirements on crafts, Xige Estate is the first among Chinese wineries passing the world highest “BRC international quality certification” in October 2019.  

Aspiring to “Making a great wine that expresses Ningxia Terroir,” Xige is telling the stories of Chinese wines to the world.
