Who is Harmene?

Narratives woven into a single accord

Harmene represents the interweaving of different narratives into a single accord. We craft wines of exceptional balance, forged by climate extremes from the Gobi Desert and tenderly caressed by our winemakers. Rich in intensity, bold in flavor, and inherently elegant — Harmene is built to stand among the best Chinese wines for curious drinkers and collectors alike.

Our region

Only the finest of Ningxia is bottled as Harmene

Harmene’s first series of wines are cultivated from a single region or sub-region, and only the best from Ningxia can be bottled into a Harmene. The microclimate and terroir of the Helan Mountain eastern foothills are unique — pollution-free soils, strong sunlight, and irrigation that produce grapes of aromatic intensity.
