澳洲酒莊


John Duval

 
 
約翰杜佛John Duval沒聽過?
 
那澳洲Penfolds Grange聽過嗎?沒錯,澳洲最有名的指標酒非他莫屬。
 
講酒師John Duval為澳洲傳奇性的釀酒師,他擔任Penfolds酒廠的首席釀酒師將近三十年,著名的Grange便是他一手創造,也包含旗下所有的Bin系列,這讓他站上世界頂級紅酒的舞台。
 
2003年起,John Duval使用自己的名字創立了約翰杜佛酒廠,行家知道他就是Penfolds Grange的推手,所以他們家的酒往往一瓶難得,現在台灣終於引進,實在是動用了許多酒商關係能擁有的結果。光是這一點,五號的酒友們你千萬要珍惜這個機會。
 
John Duval他也提到,這家酒廠絕對不是另一個Penfolds,但這是他浸淫葡萄酒30年,對葡萄酒的知識、熱情與了解所展現出來的成果。
John Duval Wines will never be another Penfolds - it is simply my chance to express my 30 odd years of premium winemaking knowledge using some of the best fruit in the world.

約翰杜佛針對Barossa地區最出名的Shiraz施赫所做的酒款,期望能發揮Barossa地區的風格、年份與品種特性,所以取名Entity『本質』,100%橡木桶陳年,其中30%為新桶,這支酒風格稍微甜美,這也是一般人對Barossa地區Shiraz所擁有的印象,但畢竟是John Duval,酒質中富含許多皮革、胡椒、柔軟而優雅的甜黑色漿果等,喝起來一點也不會有Barossa給人的嗆辣感,反而軟綿但仍結構精良。

 

 

My aim with Entity is to produce a wine true to the Barossa Valley, variety, and vintage. Traditional, low intervention winemaking techniques were employed with Entity, allowing the wine to be approachable in its youth but with ample structure and fruit depth to allow great potential for improvement in the bottle, under good cellaring conditions, for at least 10 years.

 

澳洲葡萄酒大師James Holliday給予96分的好評,稱讚他擁有完美的平衡感與結構。

Has achieved the density of fruit to guarantee a 30-year life without the least hint of overripe fruit or alcohol heat; perfect balance and integration of fruit, oak and tannins, the work of a master
