關於釀酒 Winemaking
事實證明,澳洲雅德雷德丘產區所生產的希哈紅酒可帶來令人振奮的香料氣息,而成功的關鍵在於葡萄園的選擇、產量的控制與恰到好處的橡木桶陳。蕭/史密斯希哈紅酒是一款風格活潑、表現前衛的澳洲希哈,果實分別採自位於Macclesfield與Balhannah的果園,目的是為了結合溫暖氣候所帶來的結構與馥郁度,以及涼爽氣候所賦予的辛香特色。
The Adelaide Hills has now proven it can make truly exciting spicy Shiraz. The key is careful site selection, low yields and restrained use of oak. The blend component from the warmer sub-area of Macclesfield gives structure and richness, whilst Balhannah contributes spiciness and perfume. A vibrant, modern interpretation of Australian Shiraz.
呈現深邃的石榴紫色,香氣中帶有強烈的黑櫻桃與熟李子氣息,以及大地、巧克力與些許大豆元素,中等至飽滿酒體,優異的酸度伴隨著適中的單寧而來,烘培香料元素在齒頰綻放開來,悠長的尾蘊令人激賞。2015年前皆為試飲期。
The 2008 Shiraz casts a very deep garnet-purple color, giving really intense black cherry and warm plum aromas with some earth, chocolate, a little soy and marmite. Medium to full-bodied with racy acid and a medium level of grainy tannins, flavors of baking spices really come through on the palate, finishing long. Drink it now to 2015.
