Ao Yun 2018 Shangri-La
On request only
Ao Yun 2018 Shangri-La is a red wine from one of the most striking origins in the wine world: Deqin County in Yunnan, near Shangri-La, in the high-altitude Upper Mekong Valley. The name Ao Yun is often translated as above the clouds, a fitting reference to vineyards planted at roughly 2,200 to 2,600 metres, at the foot of the Meili Mountains.
The wine is drawn from small vineyard plots around Xidang, Sinong, Shuori and Adong. Ao Yun follows hundreds of individual parcels and sub-parcels, leased from local families, with altitude, exposure, wind, soil and microclimate all treated as part of the final expression. From the first vintage onward, the vineyards have been managed according to European organic standards.
