Helan Qing Xue
Beyond Silver Heights there are also other small farms like He Lan Qing Xue, whose poetic name means something like clear water on a sunny day after the snow melts. Their 2009 Cabernet Jia Bei Lan famously won a trophy in September 2011 at the Decanter Wine Challenge in London, besting wines from France, Australia and California. It then raised eyebrows a second time when it was marketed at the equivalent of almost $200 a bottle. Advised by Li Demei, winemaker Zhang Jing has even released a special limited-edition bottling called Red Footprint, which is actually the wine that was originally submitted to the Decanter tasting, at an even higher price.
