Grace Vineyard Interval

Since 2012 we have been developing our vineyards in Ningxia. After patiently waiting, we are proud to launch the estate's first wine - Interval. Syrah based, Interval is a perfect companion to our Shanxi flagship wine - Deep Blue. Interval takes its name from the space between musical notes. We believe that if we only see what we're looking at, we can't actually see a whole subject clearly. It's the combination of visible and invisible that makes a beautiful thing complete.
