September Helan '风土的表达者' Chardonnay 2024
Vintage Character
September Helan 'Terroir Expression' Chardonnay 2024 comes from the Helan Mountain Eastern Foothills of Ningxia, one of China’s most distinctive fine-wine regions for dry, high-altitude whites. In this continental zone, abundant sunshine, large day-night temperature shifts and low rainfall help Chardonnay retain freshness while achieving full flavor, and the 2024 vintage is best understood as a bright, fruit-forward year shaped by these clean, dry growing conditions. Sandy, well-drained soils with alluvial and stony elements, together with the region’s altitude and clear light, give the wine its hallmark tension, purity and mineral edge.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Expect an expressive nose of lemon zest, green apple and white peach, layered with white flowers, a touch of brioche and a faint creamy note from lees contact. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with crisp acidity carrying citrus and orchard fruit into a subtly rounded mid-palate, then tightening into a clean, stony finish with hints of almond and gentle toast. Its balance of ripe fruit and mineral lift makes it an easy partner for roast chicken, seared scallops with brown butter, or steamed grouper with ginger and spring onion.
Winery Background
September Helan is a small family estate in Ningxia focused on translating Helan Mountain terroir into precise, small-batch wines, and this Chardonnay reflects that clear regional intent. The winery emphasizes sustainable farming, hand-harvesting and careful fruit selection, aiming to preserve site transparency rather than mask it. In the cellar, the style leans toward restrained intervention, with fermentation and élevage designed to protect freshness while adding texture through measured lees work and discreet oak influence. With very limited production, the estate stands out for combining boutique scale, technical care and a distinctly Ningxia expression of Chardonnay.
