2018 Ao Yun

呢款 Ao Yun 2018 簡直係由喜馬拉雅山頂帶嚟嘅神級傑作！喺海拔 2,200 到 2,600 米嘅香格里拉懸崖峭壁之上，314 塊好似拼圖一樣嘅微型園地入面，當地農民世世代代用雙手去耕作，每一粒收成都係 100% 人手採摘。因為高原少咗 25% 氧氣，釀酒師特別用咗非常破格嘅方法，增加發酵時嘅空氣接觸，仲將部分酒放喺透氣嘅特製陶罐度熟成。出到嚟嘅酒體非常立體同優雅，一開瓶，你會聞到好似深色水果、神秘藏香、丁香同野香草嘅層次，完全唔會覺得悶。入口嗰種單寧，滑到好似法式千層酥咁細緻，層層疊疊，加上高海拔先有嘅爽脆酸度，令到整體非常清新。飲完之後，個餘韻喺喉嚨度久久不散，帶有一種高原冰川先有嘅純淨感。呢款酒絕對唔止係一瓶紅酒，而係一場感官嘅朝聖之旅。

Born in the shadow of the sacred Meili Snow Mountain, Ao Yun 2018 is a masterpiece of high-altitude viticulture. Cultivated at breathtaking elevations between 2,200 and 2,600 meters in Shangri-La, this extraordinary wine is crafted entirely by hand by local farmers respecting centuries-old traditions. The vintage is characterized by great depth and complexity. On the nose, it offers a mesmerizing array of dark berries, cold stone minerality, incense, and wild thyme. Thanks to the unique atmospheric conditions of the Himalayas, the palate exhibits a majestic vertical structure with incredibly fine, layered tannins reminiscent of a mille-feuille. The adaptation of winemaking—using breathable earth jars and increased aeration—delivers a remarkably fresh, energetic acidity that drives a finish of endless length. A truly monumental vintage that represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury Himalayan terroir.
