China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region harvested 22 Gold, the most awarded wine

region in China, on the Berliner Wein Trophy held on March 9, according to the

Administrative Committee of Grape Industry Zone of Helan Mountain's East Foothill

Wine Region in Ningxia. As a rising wine region star, Ningxia has won over 700 International

Awards in recent years.

Thanks to the special terroir featuring long-time duration, sierozem, low

precipitation, etc., the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia,

often referred to as Chinese Bordeaux, is widely recognized as one of the

world's best place for wine grape planting and superb wine making.

Currently, with 38,000 hectares of wine grape-planting area and the output of

around 120 million bottles of wine annually, Ningxia has become the largest

concentrated and contiguous producing area in China.

Ningxia is the first chateau wine region in China and attracts many investors

from China and abroad. By the end of 2019, 92 wineries have been built and 119

are still under construction. Ningxia wine has been exported to over 20

countries and regions, including France, Canada, Australian, etc.

Ningxia became the first Chinese province-level observer in the International

Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) in 2012 and was included in The World Atlas

of Wine in 2013.

Just as Jancis Robinson, Master of wine, has praised: "There is no doubt that

the future of China's wine is in Ningxia."
