“ 2008年是一个极度炎热和干燥的年份，直到三月份都有极好的成熟条件。 ”
2008 was an extremely hot and dry vintage. There were superb ripening conditions until March when the Barossa experienced its biggest heat-wave of all time with 15 days in a row over 35 degrees. Fortunately, the majority of grapes were harvested by this time so were not overtly affected. The few blocks of grapes harvested during the heat-wave were partially dehydrated and add rich intensity and concentration to the wine. Overall 2008 is a very good vintage, with average yields and great quality.
葡萄从西北巴罗萨区的Greenock、Moppa、Belvedere、Stonewell、Seppeltsfield、Koonunga和Ebenezer等传统家庭种植园的低产葡萄园中采摘。每个葡萄园都为比拉顿设拉子葡萄酒增加了独特的维度，它们结合在一起产生了最终的混合酒。
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.
