Helan Qingxue Jia Bei Lan Baby Feet Marselan 2020 is a distinctive Chinese red from Ningxia’s Helan Mountain East, showcasing the region’s growing reputation for quality wine. Made from Marselan, it offers ripe dark-fruit character, spice and floral notes with polished tannins and a fresh, structured finish. The Baby Feet range was created as a tribute to the winemaker’s daughter, adding a personal story to this expressive Ningxia wine.

This is pretty serious and balanced, with a complex nose showing refinement. Blueberries, dried herbs and spices with a touch of dark chocolate.
