Ao Yun 2015

Introduction

Produced in the foothills of the Himalayas, near the legendary city of Shangri-La, Ao Yun is the fruit of an exceptional adventure that pushes the frontiers in winemaking, by creating a wine estate in a previously unexplored terroir.

Produced from 314 plots totaling nearly 28 hectares (75 acres) of vineyards, the Ao Yun is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Merlot. This is a concentrated, fresh and velvety expression of the Ao Yun wine produced in this Himalayan terroir.

Deep dark color. Aromas in nose of cold chimenea, Mysore sandalwood, Dhofar incense, fresh crushed ripe strawberries, plum, candied cherry. On the palate it is voluptuous and spicy, very seductive and round with extremely soft and dense tannins and long salty mineral finish.
