点评:Fulfilled my desire to taste Shiraz from not just Old Vines but Centenarian and even Ancestor (Vines from 1889 and older) at the fantastic session with Ian at Chateau Tanunda. From the get-go, he could tell that we were serious about learning about wines and he was very flexible and super generous; he kept coming forth with bottle after bottle, each time a step above until we reached the pinnacle, having the privilege to taste the1858 Field Blend, 2018 vintage.
We couldn't decide between the 2021 50 year old and 100 year old vines 2020 Shiraz, and considering that we are holidaying from overseas with limited allocation allowed to bring back home, we still decided to allocate 2 slots to Chateau Tanunda and bought them both!
The tasting was the last day of our time in Barossa and Ian's wonderful hosting ensured we finished off on a high note. But just when we thought it couldn't get better, we stumbled upon the 2 winemakers hanging around the fermentation tanks and barrels and they were so friendly and it was brilliant having them stick their arms into the barrels, grabbing bunches of grapes allowing us to sniff them. Another highlight of our time here.
Thanks team Chateau Tanunda, you're among the 3 Best experiences we had on our wine trip to South Oz!
翻译:在塔努达酒庄(Chateau Tanunda)与伊恩(Ian)的精彩品鉴会上,我满足了品尝西拉的愿望,不仅是老藤西拉,还有百年老藤,甚至是祖先(1889年及更古老的老藤)的西拉。从一开始,伊恩就看出我们认真学习葡萄酒,他非常灵活,也非常慷慨;他一瓶接一瓶地给我们品尝,每次都更上一层楼,直到我们品尝到巅峰之作——2018年份的1858 Field Blend。
我们无法在2021年份的50年老藤西拉和2020年份的100年老藤西拉之间做出选择。考虑到我们是从海外度假回来的,带回国的酒款数量有限,我们还是决定在塔努达酒庄(Chateau Tanunda)预留两个席位,两瓶都买了!
品鉴会是我们在巴罗萨谷的最后一天,伊恩的热情款待确保我们以完美的状态结束了这次品鉴会。就在我们觉得一切已经完美无缺的时候,我们偶然遇到了两位酿酒师,他们正围着发酵罐和酒桶转悠。他们非常友好,把手伸进酒桶里,抓起一串串葡萄,让我们闻一闻,真是太棒了。这又是我们此行的一大亮点。
感谢塔努达酒庄团队,你们是我们南澳葡萄酒之旅中最棒的三次体验之一!
