Tasting note

品飲筆記：色澤金黃明亮，香氣有明顯礦質感，帶些芹菜般的清勁，輕微且融入得很好的木桶香。入喉時質地飽滿、口感圓潤，帶有一抹烘烤杏仁的香氣與熱帶輕盈果味，酸度保持清新，尾韻悠長而集中。 酒莊與田間：來自Méál斜坡的老藤，平均超過五十年，產量低但品質高。土壤屬於洪積沖積礫石層，石礫蓄熱有助成熟，葡萄以人工採收並掌握成熟度，通常酒精度在14%以上。 釀製工藝：整串壓榨後冷澄24–48小時，約50%在600公升大新桶中發酵，餘下於不銹鋼槽發酵。陳年時常有攪動酒泥（batonnage），橡木與酒泥的接觸以感官為準，通常在收成後10–12個月裝瓶。 口感小提示：質地厚實、礦感與杏仁香交織，既適合現在醒酒享用，也適合短中期陳放。建議醒酒半小時到一小時，讓香氣更開放。

Tasting Note: Brilliant golden colour with an intense, mineral-driven nose enlivened by celery-like herbal notes and a discreet, well-integrated touch of oak. The palate opens with an ample, rounded attack, carrying fine exotic freshness and a distinct roasted-almond character. Texturally broad and full, it balances rich fruit and saline minerality and finishes long and focused. Producer Notes: From the Méal hillside, vines over fifty years old produce low yields and concentrated fruit. Hand-harvested at very good maturity, the fruit typically reaches potential alcohol above 14%. Winemaking: Whole‑cluster pressing and cold settling for 24–48 hours precede fermentation. Roughly half the volume is fermented in large new 600‑litre oak barrels, the remainder in vats. The wine is aged on its lees with regular bâtonnage; bottling generally takes place 10–12 months after harvest. Vineyard Notes & Ageing: Soils on the Méal hillside are fluvioglacial alluvial deposits with shingles that retain heat, favouring ripe, concentrated grapes. Careful cellar work and low yields produce a wine built for medium- to long-term ageing; this vintage has the structure to develop beautifully over decades.
