“ 2005年的生长季节是巴罗萨谷最好的一次,春天雨水充足,秋天干燥,造就了优秀的2005年份葡萄酒。 ”
The 2005 growing season was one of the Barossa's best with good Spring rains giving the vines a solid start and a dry, mild Autumn providing an excellent finish for ripening.
葡萄是从巴罗萨西北部的Greenock、Moppa、Belvedere、Stonewell、Seppeltsfield、Koonunga和Ebenezer等地的传统家庭种植园中低产收获的。每个葡萄园都为比拉顿设拉子增添了自己独特的风味,它们结合在一起形成了最终的混酿。
Following harvest, each individual lot of grapes was crushed into a separate open top fermenter. During fermentation, hand pump-overs gently extracted colour and flavour from the grapes. The fermented grapes were pressed with a traditional press. The wines were then filled to new and seasoned American, French, Russian and Hungarian oak hogsheads for maturation for eighteen months before each lot of wine was racked from the barrel and carefully blended. The wine was bottled without fining, ensuring the true expression of the vineyards in the bottle.
