• 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
The fruit for this exceptional Pinot Noir is sourced from a single vineyard in the Elgin Valley. Historically known as apple country, it has become renowned for bringing out the best in Pinot Noir, that thrives in the stable and naturally cooler climate it provides.
這款非凡的黑比諾的果實來自埃爾金谷的一個葡萄園。歷史上被稱為蘋果之鄉,它以釀造出最好的黑比諾而聞名,黑比諾在其提供的穩定和自然涼爽的氣候中茁壯成長。
Cuvee Rika Pinot Noir 2020 釀造過程:
A minimum interference approach is taken in the vineyards to get a true reflection of the unique terroir of the cooler Elgin Climate. A single vineyard wine, meticulously cared for by hand.
葡萄園採用最小干擾方法,以真實反映較冷的埃爾金氣候的獨特風土。一種單一的葡萄園葡萄酒,經過手工精心呵護。
This wine has been naturally fermented in small open top fermenters with no enzymes, preservatives or stabilisers. After natural yeast fermentation in small open tanks, the wine spent 14-15 months in a combination of 10% new and seasoned French oak. Although it drinks well now, it will reward careful cellaring; note that due to the very natural way in which the wine is produced, it may develop a harmless sediment over time. Elegant, charming, floral and light in style, with an abundance of ripe red berries, juicy strawberries and subtle spices on the nose which follow through on the palate where it marries perfectly with a savoury meatiness.
這款酒在小型敞口發酵罐中自然發酵,不含酶、防腐劑或穩定劑。在小型開放式罐中自然酵母發酵後,葡萄酒在 10% 新陳舊法國橡木桶中陳釀 14-15 個月。雖然現在喝得很好,但它會獎勵仔細的窖藏;請注意,由於葡萄酒的生產方式非常自然,隨著時間的推移,它可能會形成一種無害的沉澱物。優雅、迷人、花香和清淡的風格,豐富的成熟紅色漿果、多汁的草莓和微妙的香料在鼻子上貫穿始終,與鹹味的肉味完美結合。
