Blend and Origin
Ao Yun 2013
This smooth blend of 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc is grown in high-altitude vineyards in the mountains of Yunnan Province. The climate here is cool and dry, and the sunlight intense, causing the grapes to form thick skins. The brief period of daily sunlight means the grapes ripen slowly, concentrating the flavours and creating a ripe, fruity wine.
Additional delivery charges may apply. This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
