[品酒介紹]Savitar 薩維塔 精釀紅酒

酒款介紹:

ஐღMitolo Savitar Shirazღஐ

The wine name 'Savitar' refers to a mythical dragon-like monster.
'Sui magna cauda caeli astra verrit eaque ad terram jecit'
'His great tail swept the stars from the sky and flung them to the earth'.

牠巨大的尾巴將夜空中閃爍的眾星一掃而下，狠狠甩入蒼涼大地
薩維塔—西方神話中似龍的巨獸

Vineyard
The grapes come from the Willunga district of McLaren Vale, where the heavy grey loam soils over sandstone, intermixed with black Biscay clay, combined with the maritime climate, contribute to an even ripening period and the development of rich fruit flavours and ripe tannins. Yield is around 1-2 tonnes per acre.

葡萄園
葡萄莊園座落於麥拉倫谷的偉倫加區，其土壤混合了深灰色的壤土與黑色的比斯開黏土，覆蓋在砂岩上。海洋型氣候使葡萄的熟成穩定，賦予濃郁的果味及成熟的單寧。產量為每英畝1-2噸。

Winemaking
Each parcel of fruit for Savitar is fermented on skins for 10 days in 2 tonne fermentation vessels. The wine is then pressed and undergoes partial barrel fermentation followed by a natural malolactic fermentation before racking.
18 months in 100% new medium to light toasted Allier/Nevers barriques and hogsheads.

釀製
每一批用來釀製薩維塔的葡萄皆放在一個兩噸容量的槽中帶皮發酵10天，然後榨清置入桶內發酵，並隨後進行天然酵母發酵並注入橡木桶中排存。
整整18個月存放在100%全新經過輕火烘烤的中等直徑法國橡木桶。

Tasting Note
Dark blood plum characters on the nose intermingled with cloves and blackcurrant. A restrained and tightly structured palate that will benefit from a few years in the cellar.

品酒
深沉色澤及混合著李子、丁香、及黑醋栗的香味，一種內斂但結構良好的口感，窖藏數年後應該會更為進步。

Cellaring
Will age reliably for 15 years.

窖藏
應該可以久存15年以上。
