About Zaxee.
Zaxee is a small-batch winery located within a deep mountain valley in Benzilan, a village one hour north of Shangrila. The name of the winery derives from the Tibetan word བཀྲ་ཤིས, which has connotations of good fortune and blessings. While the region’s peaks rise over 5,500 metres (18,044 feet) above sea level, Zaxee is uniquely nestled deep within a rugged valley at 2,500 metres (8202 feet) above sea level. The valley creates a mild climate that rarely drops below freezing, yet glaciated peaks can be seen in all directions. It’s also a combination of some of the lowest latitude – highest altitude wines you’ll find in the world.
