South Africa Clos du Ciel 2017 750ml
• Introduction 簡介
The name of this range comes from the early days of settlement in the Cape. The VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) prohibited farmers from trading with anyone other than the ‘Compagnie’, but this lead to big unhappiness. Therefore, when the ‘vrijburgers’ and local tribesmen wanted to do business, they had to go to a secluded area in the mountain-range to trade without interference. This corner was where Stellenbosch Mountain and Helderberg ‘join’ and so it became known as ‘Konkelberg’.
VOC(荷蘭東印度公司)禁止農民與“公司”以外的任何人進行交易，但這導致了很大的不愉快。因此，當“自由公民”和當地部落想要做生意時，他們不得不去一個山脈中的僻靜區域，貿易不受干擾。這個角落就是斯泰倫博斯山和海爾德伯格“連接”的地方，因此被稱為“康克爾伯格”。
• Terroir 風土

Clos du Ciel 2017 釀造過程：
Harvested from a naturally low yielding single vineyard, 9 different Chardonnay clones were planted almost 30 years ago. With narrow rows and high-density planting (approximately 5000 plants per hectare), conventional equipment can’t be used, and therefore everything gets done by hand, including spraying our natural preparations with back packs. With an annual rainfall of approximately 600ml per annum, dry land farming is practiced. Biodynamic (organic) practices are followed and no herbicides or chemical sprays are used in the production of these grapes.
從一個天然低產的單一葡萄園收穫，大約 30 年前種植了 9 種不同的霞多麗克隆。由於行窄且種植密度高（每公頃約 5000 株），無法使用常規設備，因此一切都由手工完成，包括用背包噴灑我們的天然製劑。年降雨量約 600 毫升，實行旱地耕作。遵循生物動力（有機）實踐，在生產這些葡萄時不使用除草劑或化學噴霧劑。
The juice is vinified in a Biodynamic and natural way, fermented with wild vineyard specific yeasts, without the use of enzymes or fining agents. Matured in French oak barrels for 11-12 months, bottled unfiltered and further left to mature for approximately a year prior to release.Planted almost 30 years ago by the legendary John Platter, Clos du Ciel, which means “Heavenly Vineyard”, has proven to produce an infinitely complex and unique but classic Chardonnay.Citronella and lemongrass aromatics envelop more subtle primary fruit that include peach skin and naartjie peel. Then also hints of vanilla, baked apple, marzipan and honey. The palate possesses verve and savoury grip, with elements of crushed river pebble, rock salt and flint, but also a grainy, pithy textural element akin to walnut and hard pear. There is real weight and mouth-filling substance, even at 12,5% ABV with complexity gained from lees contact and completely integrated oak. Bone dry, savoury finish.
果汁以生物動力和自然的方式釀造，用野生葡萄園特定的酵母發酵，不使用酶或澄清劑。在法國橡木桶中熟化 11-12 個月，未經過濾裝瓶，並在發布前進一步熟化約一年。大約 30 年前，傳奇人物約翰·普拉特 (John Platter) 種植了 Clos du Ciel，意思是“天堂般的葡萄園”，事實證明，它可以生產出極其複雜和獨特但經典的霞多麗。香茅和檸檬草芳香包裹著更微妙的主要水果，包括桃皮和 南非柑皮。然後還有香草、烤蘋果、杏仁糖和蜂蜜的味道。口感充滿活力和鹹味，帶有碎河卵石、岩鹽和燧石的元素，還有類似於核桃和硬梨的顆粒狀、精巧的質地元素。即使在 12.5% ABV 的情況下，也有真實的重量和充滿口腔的物質，其複雜性來自酒泥接觸和完全整合的橡木。骨幹，鹹味。
