Aura is one of Hiyu's most fascinating and impressive wines, 'Aura' is drawn from the Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir on the hillside vineyard situation right above the farm's wine tavern. In 2019, this wine is particularly intense; described as "a multidimensional wine with striking and unexpected layers. It possesses the cut and precision of Champagne; amplified, saturated and exotic fruit from the co-ferment; and Nebbiolo-like tannin and intense whole-cluster spice from the orange wine component. This wine always strongly blends categories between, white, red, rosé, and orange wines, but it is particularly the case with this vintage. This wine should age for decades..." We love it now, but a softening will certainly occur with time.
