Chateau Hedong Syrah 2015 won the top prize of Diamond Award at the inaugural China Helan Mountain’s East Foothill Wine – Hong Kong Bauhinia Award Competition.

Its average temperature is 3°C degrees cooler than Qing Tongxia, Yong Ning and Hong Shibao areas in Ningxia. Its grape harvest is usually 10 days later than other wineries in Ningxia, he added.
The Chateau Hedong Syrah 2015 emerged as the top winner among nearly 100 samples submitted from more than 40 wineries in Ningxia at the wine competition.
