Tasting note

品飲筆記：酒色中深，帶黑心。杯中先是櫻桃與李子果香，隨後浮現細緻花香、礦物與林地氣息，還有淡淡藥草與甘草的複雜感。口感中等偏豐，果味純淨而明亮，約35%以全串發酵帶出草本與花香細節，單寧柔滑但有抓力，收結長且帶鹹香。 釀造與酒莊：瓦利酒莊在班諾克本以小量分地栽培為本，選取陽光充足但日夜溫差大的地塊，礫石與排水良好的土壤賦予酒款集中度與礦感。此酒在法國橡木桶陳11個月（約27%新桶），瓶蓋採螺旋蓋保留鮮活果味，適合醒酒或短期陳放。 口感提示：入口果實線條分明、層次感豐富，單寧絲滑、酸度鮮明，尾韻帶香料與森林地氣，配烤鴨或羊架都很合拍。

Tasting note: Deep ruby with a dark core. The nose unfurls red cherry and plum lifted by floral and mineral hints, while forest-floor and spice notes add complexity. On the palate it is medium-bodied with pure, bright fruit layered by herbal and whole‑bunch nuances, velvety tannins and a long, savoury finish. Winemaking notes: Fruit for this bottling comes from Bannockburn parcels (notably Felton Road & Hall Road sites). Fermented with about 35% whole bunches and matured 11 months in French oak (approximately 27% new), the wine shows careful oak integration and textural weight. Bottled under screw cap to preserve freshness. Vineyard & producer: Valli Wines crafts site-driven wines from the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, favouring parcels with warm daytime ripening, cool nights and stony soils that lend concentration and mineral lift. The result is a refined, structured red built for both near-term enjoyment and short- to medium-term cellaring.
