[品酒介紹]Reiver 雷之火 精釀紅酒

酒款介紹:

ஐღMitolo Reiver Shirazღஐ

The name 'Reiver' is taken from the border raiders of the Anglo-Scot borders. Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the border country was ravaged by lawless Reiver families in a vicious cycle of raid, reprisal and blood feud. Their allegiance was first to the family, the surname, and not the crown, whether English or Scottish.

雷之火-在英格蘭與蘇格蘭邊境村莊中的侵襲者。在15與16世紀中，這兩地交界處的村莊各有不受兩地律法管轄的”雷夥”家族，陷入在襲擊、報復、結成世仇這樣的慘烈輪迴。他們的鐵血忠貞只對族裔、家姓，而絲毫不奉獻給英格蘭或蘇格蘭的皇室。

'Rubro et albo vexillum volitat, pro sanguine, pietale, sanctitateque et familiae honore'
'The flag flies red and white - for bloodshed and righteousness and the honour of the family'.

繡上家徽的旗幟翻飛著紅與白-那是我們熾熱的血、我們的不屈的靈魂、我們偉大族裔的榮耀

Vineyard
The grapes come from a vineyard in Greenock in the Barossa Valley which is situated at 550 metres above sea level. The average age of the vines is around 60 years old and they receive very little irrigation. The soils are free draining loam over limestone. Yield is around 1-2 tonnes per acre..
