Variety: Chardonnay 葡萄品种:霞多丽Region: Yarra Valley 产区:雅拉谷
The 2009 Yarra Valley Chardonnay continues our evolution towards a more pure and refined style of this variety. We believe this is the best way to express the inherent character of our Upper Yarra Valley Vineyards. The nose is strikingly elegant, with stone fruit, grapefruit and marzipan aromas. The palate is fine, textured and leesy, with lovely acidity and subtle hints of nuts and spice. Oak plays an every so slight supporting role, both on the nose and palate.
2009年的亚拉谷霞多丽延续了我们在这一品种上更纯粹更优雅的风格。我们相信这是反映上亚拉谷的风土特色的最好方法。此酒香气优雅并带有浓郁的蜜瓜,柚子与杏仁香味。口感丰满,令人愉快的酸度使口感的结构更丰富,并带有一些坚果和香料的味道。橡木桶成年也为这款霞多丽的香味和口感提供了更多的支撑。使其变得更为吸引。
THE VINEYARD葡萄园
The wine is primarily sourced from north-east facing, 21 year old Chardonnay vines (P58 clone) from the Lusatia Park Vineyard, near Woori Yallock, in the cool Upper Yarra Valley. Mature vines, elevation over 200 meters and volcanic soils in this vineyard combine to produce fine, minerally Chardonnay fruit.
此款霞多丽主要来自卢萨蒂亚园葡萄园,位于上亚拉谷,靠近WOORI YALLOCK,葡萄藤东北朝向,藤龄21年。在成熟的葡萄藤,200多米的海拔和火山土几方面因素的结合下,培植出优质,矿物质丰富的霞多丽葡萄。
THE WINEMAKING 酿酒
The fruit for this wine was hand-picked to ensure intact berries before being gently whole-bunch pressed. The juice was lightly settled, then racked to French oak for barrel fermentation. The barrel selection consisted of medium toast barrels sourced predominantly from the forests of Troncais and Vosges, none of which were new to encourage delicacy and expression of site. The wines remained in barrel for 10 months with regular lees stirring before blending and bottling under screwcap in early 2010.
为了确保压榨前葡萄的完整无损,葡萄均为手工采摘。压榨后的果汁在略微稳定后即注入法国橡木桶中发酵。橡木桶主要选取了中度烘烤的来自Troncais 和Vosges森林的木桶。酒在木桶中存放10个月,在灌装前进行常规性的搅拌。在2010年初装瓶,螺旋盖封口。
