三分鐘認識一個名莊 《三分鐘認識一個名莊》對話西拉鬼才Ringland

三分鐘帶你瞭解一個名莊 大家好 我現在在美麗的巴羅薩 今天是一個非常獨特 也很有爭議的酒莊 Chris Greenland 有人會喜歡他的酒 因為他的酒很健壯 很濃稠 但是又有精準度 但有些人不喜歡他的酒 覺得他太熟了 包括他的酒 有些酒的酒精度 今天到了17.9度 18度 所以今天我跟Chris聊一聊 讓他給大家介紹一下他的酒莊 Hello Chris Welcome to the show 第一個問題很簡單 你的酒莊在哪裡 你的葡萄園有多大 你每年釀的酒大概有多少瓶 No, thanks, mate. My vineyard I don't have a vineyard The vineyard that I call Chris Greenland Barossa Rangers Dry Grain is located right up on top of the ridge in the range that separates the Barossa Valley from Eden Valley OK It was planted in 1910 So it's now 114 years old And I acquired it in 1994 So 3 years Completely by accident OK And it was a fantastic acquisition I've retrained the vines looked after the vineyard In a normal year it will produce around 1,500 bottles 你介紹一下你酒莊的歷史 The vineyard was planted by a family called the Randall family who established a vineyard up in that area from the 1870s And I was of course extraordinary lucky to be able to buy a vineyard like this in the 1990s when maybe the industry was a little bit in a low point For me of course it was a perfect opportunity I've taken the vineyard on and I'm very proud of the wine the Barossa Shiraz I make from this vineyard 你大概釀了多少年了 I studied winemaking formally at the University of South Australia Roseworthy I graduated in 1982 OK I've been making wine for more than 40 years OK 你覺得你釀的所有酒裡面 哪一個你覺得是旗艦款 讓大家一嘗就覺得 這是Chris Ringland的風格 哪一個是最貴的酒 多少錢 The flagship and the most expensive are both the same wine My Chris Ringland dry grown Barossa also known as Three Rivers I started making that wine in 1989 So it's got a good long track record It's an expensive bottle of wine There aren't that many of them It would normally sell for 850 to 900 dollars on release But wines that have been aged in people's cellars can sell for thousands of dollars a bottle from great vintages OK But that is my flagship wine OK 如果有一個Barossa 所有酒莊的排名 你會把自己排到第幾名 I hope I don't seem arrogant But I do think I'm doing some very special wine So I know I think the feedback I'll get from my old customers is that they really love the wines I make So I actually think I think I'm doing a top-level job OK 你的酒很有意思 今天的盛典宴 就是很多酒在瓶中 和在木桶裡 都成年很常見的出場 比如說這一款酒 在橡木桶裡 已經成年了 60個月在出場 它的原因是什麼 When I started my own little winemaking project I knew it was an opportunity for me to explore pushing the limits OK And I knew that the longer that Shiraz is aged in extremely good especially French oak but also American oak barrels that it can develop layers of complexity that you lose or you don't encounter if you bottle a wine too soon So I was in a position where I could actually mature these barrels and see how the wine evolved OK And then it created an understanding OK about long maturation So that for me a short maturation in barrel is 36 months At least But a normal maybe as long as 50 or 60 months OK But it's because we can do it And once you start to do it and you create a style that's what you do OK And people understand that OK And it does give wines longevity And it's going to do it much better OK There is a combination of the interaction of the Shiraz and the barrel When it's made like this it can mature then for 30, 40, 50 years And this is the philosophy and of course the understanding of wine that I saw when I was a young OK I was a student and winemaker tasting these great old Barossa vintages OK 我們喝你的酒 說要不要醒酒 You definitely decanted I'd get very upset if you didn't And for one of my great top Shiraz minimum 8 hours OK Ideally overnight OK 你覺得你在葡萄牙 最大的一個成就是什麼 I think just just consistently making wines on a scale like this small volumes big expressive wines And the big achievement is the fact that our customers just love the wines And we get customers from all over the world Connecting with people all over the world is just such a beautiful thing And if you can use one word or one phrase or one metaphor to describe your philosophy or your style of wines what would be that Extremely good question The wine tells me what to do I don't tell the wine what to do Let the wine tell you And if you do that it will always come out really good 請給我們所有 中國的葡萄牙好酒 說一句祝福話 Meet with you Discuss this philosophy Taste wines And it's wonderful for me to connect with people who really enjoy the wines as well Thanks Chris Thanks a lot for doing this I really really appreciate Cheers
