About Silver Heights.
SILVER HEIGHTS VINEYARD, leading the way for biodynamic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking in China, is now ready to launch their newest collection of Natural Wines: Jiayuan 家园. Three single-varietal cuvées have been produced created in very limited quantity (less than 3000 bottles each), using an extremely purist approach to winemaking that focuses on wild- yeast fermentation, no filtration, and minimal sulfur.
“From the early days, we have always been guided by the ancient wisdom of Jieqi (节气) solar terms, and we also used organic practices to avoid chemicals and artificial pesticide. Now since 2017, our estate fully embraces biodynamic farming. Celebrating our passion for minimal-intervention winemaking, the Jiayuan collection strives to express the raw beauty of our eco-system. By cultivating harmony with the seasons, encouraging the transformations that nature brings forth, we nurture energy and vitality throughout our vines for it to be expressed in every bottle.” Emma Gao
