Differentiated by its label text \u003ci\u003e\"Above the Creek\"\u003c\/i\u003e (桃溪之上), this expression showcases a distinct single-vineyard plot within Shangri-La's extreme high-elevation valley slopes. Benefiting from the stellar 2023 vintage, it delivers striking clarity and precision, opening with a refined aromatic bouquet of white nectarine, crisp green apple, citrus blossom, and lemongrass, layered with subtle hazelnut, brioche, and a chalky mountain mineral drive. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, sleek, and deliciously pure, where a focused fruit core is balanced by a tight, driving line of natural acidity, finishing exceptionally clean, vibrant, and long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion\/Appellation:\u003c\/b\u003e Shangri-La, Yunnan, China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Mingyi Winery (酩一酒庄)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e High-Altitude, Artisanal, Pure, and Mineral-Driven White Chardonnay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for (food pairing):\u003c\/b\u003e Fresh oysters on the half shell, pan-seared sea scallops with lemon butter, steam-cooked coral trout with ginger and scallions, delicate sashimi, or grilled king prawns.
