  • Medium White
  • Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc
  • Ningxia, CHI
  • Emma Gao | Silver Heights

Bright, lively, and effortlessly drinkable, the 2022 Silver Heights The Last Warrior is a blend of near-equal parts Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc from Ningxia, China. Tropical fruits dominate... pineapple, peach, apricot, lychee, and pear, but that first whiff also carries the vegetal lift of Sauvignon Blanc, hinting at the wine’s freshness.

Hand-picked, gently pressed, and slow-fermented in stainless steel with a splash of Burgundy oak, it skips malolactic fermentation to keep things crisp and energetic. Like most Silver Heights wines, it’s restrained and balanced, rewarding time in the glass: over 90 minutes, the aromas evolve beautifully. Named The Last Warrior in honor of the courage and tenacity of the Ningxia people, the wine’s label features a terracotta warrior... a visual story that matches the wine’s poise and elegance

About the Winemaker
Emma Gao | Silver Heights

Founded in 2007 by Emma Gao and her father, Gao Lin, Silver Heights is a family-run estate perched on the eastern slopes of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia, China’s most dynamic winegrowing region. After earning her National Oenologist Diploma in Bordeaux and interning at Château Calon-Ségur, Emma returned home to craft expressive, terroir-driven wines from Ningxia’s high desert. With vineyards at 1,200m altitude, the estate benefits from intense sunlight, sparse rainfall, and stark diurnal shifts, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while preserving freshness. Soils of clay, gravel, and pebbles add texture and tension. Emma has farmed organically from the beginning and introduced biodynamic practices in 2017, blending Western technique with the rhythms of China’s traditional lunisolar calendar.
