Yunnan is China's high-altitude wine region, where vineyards climb the mountain valleys of the Himalayan foothills in the country's far south-west. WineFortune tracks a single wine here — Ao Yun, from the producer of the same name — indexes it and lists it in the shop.
The region's flagship is a still red built around Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in terraced plots along the upper reaches of the Mekong near Shangri-La. Intense sunshine, dry air and cool mountain nights shape a style of concentrated fruit, firm structure and marked freshness — a profile closer to fine Bordeaux-inspired winemaking than to anything else in China.
On the WineFortune index, the median for Yunnan stands at €233.33 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. Ao Yun is the wine behind that figure, with one vintage tracked and indexed.
