TASTING NOTES:
Darkly complex.
A deep, inky red.
On the nose, slightly smoky aromas of sandalwood, incense and ripe red fruit – strawberries, plums and cherries – intermingle.
Voluptuous and round on the palate, this red displays soft and very dense tannins, with a long saline and mineral finish.
Winemaker & Estate Manager, Ao Yun

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Ao Yun Vintage 2015
From a year of warm weather and excellent yields comes this blend of cabernet sauvignon (79%) and cabernet franc (21%) from the village vineyards of Adong, Shuori, Sinong and Xidang.
The high altitude means there is less oxygen, and so malolactic fermentation takes place in earthenware jars as well as oak barrels, with the wine aged for 12 months in 40% new barrels.
FOOD PAIRING:
Match with Chinese flavours
Plump prawns in a warming Sichuan pepper sauce will find balance in this wine's complex character.
For this New World red, serve grilled duck breast in an orange sauce and topped with pea shoots, or try lamb chops in a sticky soy, honey and sesame glaze.
