Located in the southwest of China, bordering Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, the region of Yunnan is establishing itself as one of the most promising wine regions of the Asian giant. With an area of 394,000 square kilometers, this province at the foot of Mount Meili in the Himalayas, offers a unique terruño
The climate in Yunnan is excellent for vine cultivation. Despite being located at subtropical latitudes similar to those of the Sahara, the high elevations moderate the temperatures. The influence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans contributes to creating a unique microclimate, with a marked thermal amplitude (between 12 and 20°C difference between day and night) which favors the development of complex aromas and flavors in the grapes. The topographical diversity of Yunnan, with its slopes, rocks, and inclines, creates a mosaic of microterroirs, each with its own edaphic characteristics. This variety of soils allows winemakers to experiment with different grape varieties and winemaking styles, contributing to the complexity and diversity of the region's wines. The soils of Yunnan are exceptionally rich in minerals, a quality that imparts a distinctive mineral note to the wines.
