Here are some of the best pours to have right now—from a few fresh new entries to an Old World delight
While Singapore is blessed with hot and humid weather all year round, we do enjoy a cooler start to the year. This also happens to be a great time to explore some amazing vintages across an eclectic range of quality pours. While it's almost always a good time for bubbly, a beautifully structured red is almost impossible to resist. Here are five apt suggestions to complete your weekend feast.
Ao Yun 2015 Vintage
This is only the third vintage of the acclaimed Ao Yun wine estate, which is located in the Himalayas (hence, the name which means “flying above the clouds”). But wine critic James Suckling is adamant that 2015 is its best ever vintage—and "the best wine of China".
It helps that the vineyards are located between 2,200m to 2,600m above sea level, and have an ideal climate and soil type that have resulted in a sumptuous blend of 79 per cent cabernet sauvignon and 21 per cent cabernet franc with a seductive ruby colour.
It has fruity notes that open up to a round and intense body with a salty mineral finish. While it’s wonderful to drink now, it will be even better in three to four years when the flavours develop and the tannins soften.
The Ao Yun 2015 Vintage is available at Moët Hennessy Diageo’s sales channels.
