Ao Yun

Ao Yun is a distinguished winery located in the Himalayan region of Yunnan, China. The name "Ao Yun" translates to "flying above the clouds," reflecting its unique high-altitude vineyards situated between 2,200 and 2,600 meters above sea level. Established by Moët Hennessy, Ao Yun embarked on an ambitious journey to craft world-class wines in China.

After a four-year search for the ideal terroir, the vineyards were planted in 2013 across four villages: Xidang, Sinong, Shuori, and Adong. These locations offer diverse soil types, sun exposure, and microclimates, contributing to the complexity and distinctiveness of Ao Yun's wines.

Ao Yun's wines are celebrated for their harmony, elegance, and complexity. The high-altitude conditions result in grapes with thicker skins, leading to wines with soft, dense tannins and a long, salty mineral finish. The winery's meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking, combined with the unique Himalayan terroir, has positioned Ao Yun as a pioneer in the Chinese wine industry, producing wines that have garnered international acclaim.
