酒       庄：贝灵瀚酒庄（Bellingham）
葡萄品种：白诗南（Chenin Blanc）
产       区：南非，海岸产区

葡萄园：
这款著名的葡萄酒来自3个特殊的白诗南葡萄园，葡萄藤种植于1971,1982和1983年。这些低产的灌木育型老藤生长在以风化花岗岩土壤为主的区域，受附近的桌山和福尔斯湾的海风影响。这些区域盛产浓度、酸度和平衡性强的葡萄酒。

酿造：
老藤葡萄的采收分为两个阶段，更早收获的第一阶段为酒款提供更多的天然果香，在 Foudre 混凝土罐和陶土双耳罐中自然发酵。较晚成熟的部分在 300L 的酒桶中自然发酵，其中 30% 为新酒桶，主要提供葡茶知口感。发酵后,这些酒桶需要进行 10 个月左右的搅桶，之后将这瓶。

品酒笔记：
这款葡萄酒富有表现力，突出的果味和丰富而饱满的口感给人留下了深刻的印象。香气由桃子、杏子、菠萝、金银花和橘子混合而成，伴有辣苹果和青柠的气味。高纯度的白诗南的诱人风味与其他辅助的味道和谐相融，余味中带有老藤白诗南特有的涂满奶油的水果甜味和香料的味道，令人欲罢不能。

Vineyards:
The grapes for this celebrated wine are from 3 exceptional Chenin Blanc vineyards planted in 1971,1982 and 1983. These low yielding vines are grown in predominantly weathered granite soils and shaped by the ocean breezes from nearby Table and False Bay. The sites are especially known to produce power-ful wines of exceptional concentration, acidity and balance.

Winemaking:
Harvesting of these old vines takes place in two phases, the first or earlier harvested component is destined as the “fruit or nose” component, and is fermented naturally in Foudre concrete tank and Amphorae. The later Or ripe rharvested component ferments naturally in 300L barrels of which 30% is new barrels, and contributes to the overall structure and palate of the wine. After fermentation, the barrels are Batonnaged monthly for around 10 months, afte rwhich the components are blended and bottled.

Characteristics:
The wine is varietal expressive and defined by its bright fruit expression and rich, full palate. On the nose the wine presents a fruit mélange of peaches and apricots, pineapple, honeysuckle, and orange citrus that follows through to spicy apple and lime notes. On the palate the wine is very seductive with its Chenin Blanc purity, and seamless integration, that leaves one with a rich mouth-watering finish, filled with coated creamy fruit sweetness and spice, as is indicative of its old bush vine origins.
