2001 Reserve Shiraz Cabernet

The 2001 vintage was quite early with harvest commencing early March mainly due to the hot weather experienced in January & February. Thanks to early spring rains and the terra rossa soils the vines had adequate soil moisture to ride out the hot summer and reach full ripeness early. One of the unusual features of the vintage was the fact that shiraz and cabernet ripened at the same time.

Later the final Reserve blend was put together after some 12 months separate maturation in mainly new American and French oak with the addition of some separately barrel fermented shiraz and some barrel fermented cabernet. All the wines were basket pressed after fermentation and the final blend was matured in oak for a further 6 months to integrate the blend.

The 2001 Reserve is a stylish and distinctly elegant red wine with great structure and length of flavor tannin structure giving it the ability to age for at least another decade.

2001珍藏Shiraz Cabernet

由于在一月和二月份经历的炎热天气，2001的葡萄在三月初就开始收获。 早春的雨水和terra rossa的土壤使葡萄树有足够的土壤湿气来抵御炎热的夏天并提早得以充分的成熟。这款葡萄酒的独特之处是shiraz和cabernet同时达到成熟。

这之后二种葡萄都分别在法国和美国的橡木桶中发酵了12个月，在篮压后再经过橡木桶6个月的成熟得以充分的混合。

2001珍藏是一支拥有传统意味上典雅的酿造工艺而又不乏时尚口感的红葡萄酒。 其出色的结构和宽广的单宁使其能在您收藏的至少十年中继续成长。
