Not every New World Spotlight comes from a place you would expect. This one comes from the high plateaux of the Himalaya, where a new generation of Chinese winemaking is taking shape at altitudes that would make most winegrowers hesitate. Celebre and AllofMe are the two labels leading that story, both available now at The Vintage Wine Club.
A Wine Region Still Being Written
China's Himalaya wine region sits at elevations that rival anywhere else in the world producing serious wine. The altitude brings intense sunlight, dramatic diurnal temperature swings and a growing season unlike anything found in Europe or the Americas. The result is fruit with striking natural acidity and concentration, a genuinely distinctive addition to any serious cellar.
Celebre: 'Hauts Plateaux de l'Himalaya'
Celebre's flagship pairing captures both ends of the spectrum from these high-altitude vineyards: the 2022 white and the 2018 red, showing the ageing potential of the region's structured reds.
AllofMe: Red, White and Rose from the Same Vineyards
AllofMe rounds out the picture with a full tricolour range from the same Himalayan sites: red, white, and rose, offering a complete tasting across styles.
The Star of Himalaya Bundle
For those who want to explore the range in one order, the Star of Himalaya Bundle brings together five bottles across both labels, a straightforward way to taste China's high-altitude wine story side by side.
