South Africa Longridge Merlot 2019 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
Rooted in the oldest viticulture soil in the world, it is made up of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This vineyard enjoys the refreshingly cool breezes from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and cool night air flowing down the mountain, resulting in even ripening of the berries and good, natural acidity. The macro climate is maritime, with cold wet winters and sunny warm summers.
它植根於世界上最古老的葡萄栽培土壤，由海德堡山下坡的腐爛花崗岩組成。 這個葡萄園在白天享受來自福爾斯灣（大西洋）的清爽涼爽的微風和從山上流下的涼爽的夜間空氣，從而使漿果均勻成熟，並具有良好的天然酸度。 擁有近海洋性的宏觀氣候，冬季寒冷潮濕，夏季陽光明媚。
Longridge Merlot 2019 釀造過程：
The vineyards are meticulously cared for by hand. The crop is reduced to ensure maximum quality. Organic and biodynamic practices are employed by not using any pesticides, herbicides or chemical sprays.100% estate grown.
葡萄園由手工精心照料。減少作物以確保最高質量。不使用任何殺蟲劑、除草劑或化學噴霧劑，採用有機和生物動力實踐。100% 莊園種植。
Meticulous hand sorting before fermenting naturally for 10 days in stainless steel tanks and then pressed. This wine has been matured in 30% new French oak barrels for 16 months and is ready for drinking now, but will continue to develop over the next 3-5 years.This vintage delivered a medium bodied wine with a savoury nose and slight cedar characters. Ripe, yet soft tannins complement the aromas of plump, dark, red fruit and ripe strawberries with a hint of dark chocolate, cocoa green herbs and wet stones on the nose. Well integrated vanilla oak and enough backbone to age further in the bottle.
精心手工分揀，然後在不銹鋼罐中自然發酵 10 天，然後壓榨。這款酒已經在 30% 的新法國橡木桶中熟化 16 個月，現在可以飲用，但在未來 3-5 年內將繼續發展。這個年份的酒體適中，帶有鹹味和輕微的雪松特徵。成熟而柔和的單寧與中等酒體、深色、紅色水果和成熟草莓的香氣相得益彰，並帶有一絲黑巧克力、可可綠草本植物和濕石的香氣。很好地融合了香草橡木和足夠的骨幹，可以在瓶中進一步陳釀。
