SHANGRI-LA Ao Yun Cabernet Franc Cabernet, Yunnan Province 2016
Luring luxury connoisseurs from around the globe, this Chinese red is making waves internationally for being the first legitimately competitive high-end wine to come out of the country’s developing wine production industry. Its production is a long, complex story of cooperation between the CEO of Moët Hennessy, <strong>Australian enologist Tony Jordan</strong>, the Chinese government and Tibetan farmers - and it’s yielded something spectacular.
<br><br>
The name Ao Yun means “roaming above the clouds” - and the name is apt, as the vineyards which produce it rise up to 2,600 metres at the foot of a sacred mountain in Yunnan province, not far from the famed city of Shangri-La on the fringe of the Himalayas.
<br><br>
This spellbinding terrain has produced a wine of powerful flavour, complex spice, and a silky texture with tannin to spare and massive aging potential.
<br><br>
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of wine-making history from a nation with the potential to become a powerhouse.
