Ao Yun

A Trascendent Spirit Of Craft

Ao Yun wines express the harmony, elegance and complexity of the terroir's characteristic: concentration with freshness and soft, dense tannins with a long, salty mineral finish. Each of Ao Yun's 314 parcels spread across the 4 villages has its own variations, its own subtleties. Together, they constitute approximately 20 separate terroir types, with each parcel harvested in 2 to 3 runs, ensuring the grapes are picked at their optimal ripeness. Each terroir type is vinified separately. In extreme environments, adaptation is key. To compensate the 25 % lower oxygen levels at 2,600 m altitude, Ao Yun has adapted the winemaking by increasing aeration during maceration, prolonging maceration depending on terroir and vintage, doing malolactic fermentation in new barrel and in oxygen permeable earth Jar and using less Sulphur Dioxide.
