Petit Mont Chardonnay Ningxia Helan Mountain ⼨山寧夏霞多麗乾白葡萄酒
Tasting Notes
Bright and refreshing, Petit Mont 2023 Helan Mountain Chardonnay from Ningxia shows juicy stone fruit, ripe citrus, and a gentle floral lift. A lightly textural palate with crisp acidity and clean minerality carries a mouth-watering finish—an easy-drinking white that shines well-chilled or alongside flame-kissed dishes.
