Part of Great Wall
Huaxia is one of the wineries of Great Wall, the wine brand of the state group COFCO. It is in the Jieshishan sub-region, north-east of Beijing, where Li Demei lists it among the producers to know. For the history and wines of the brand, see our entry on Great Wall.
Jieshishan
Close to the Bohai Sea, Jieshishan is mild, with about 700 mm of rain a year. Despite the sea’s influence, vines must still be buried in winter, and humidity during the growing season makes disease control a challenge.
