-老藤系列 亞維儂紅酒
KAESLER Avignon G.S.M.,
Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia

產區/Region： Barossa Valley, Australia

品種/Grapes： Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre

酒質/Tasting Notes： 從這款酒的名字 “Avignon”可以了解這是以法國南隆河產區風格釀製的紅酒，採用Grenache、Shiraz和 Mourvedre混合釀製，也就是所謂的GSM紅酒；其中Grenache和 Mourvedre是產自70幾歲的老樹，而Shiraz則是40歲和105歲的老樹。為了呈現出其細緻優雅的風味，特別使用五年以上的法國橡木桶熟成；裝瓶前不經澄清和過濾處理以保持原味。

這是款非常適合搭配食物的紅酒。色澤是深石榴紅色，聞起來帶有成熟漿果、泥土、胡椒、草本香料和些許西洋杉的氣味。優雅的中等酒體，帶有黑李、黑莓的果香，以及香料的香味，接續了黑巧克力般的餘味，整體的香味、單寧和酸度呈現出均衡的和諧感；可以陳放5到8年以上。

The“Avignon” is a style of red wine composed of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre. The Grenache and Mourvedre vines are 70 years old and the Shiraz comes from vineyards 40 and 105 year’s old. The 2005 Avignon is blended as a medium bodied wine, for early consumption or medium term cellaring. The 2005 however will definitely need 6-12 months for its components to marry and should cellar well for at least 5-8 years. The wine was fermented hot (26-30 Degrees centigrade) in stainless steel and transferred to old oak (mostly older than 5 years), after alcoholic fermentation, where it completed its malo lactic fermentation. It was racked post MLF with no acid adjustment, and then returned to barrel, where it stayed until January 2006. The components were matured as individual vineyard parcels then blended. The criteria for a wine being selected for Avignon, is its harmony between flavour, tannin and acid. The wine was bottled in March 2006 with no fining or filtration.

Colour: Garnet with a youthful edge. Nose: Ripe dark berries, with earthy, charry overtones. Palate: Entry displays plum and blackberry fruit with fine tannin and tasty acidity. As the wine moves through the palate, the mouth feel widens and becomes quite savoury. The palate has great length. The aftertaste is very Mourvedre with a strong flavour of dark chocolate. Notes: This wine style is designed for food. It is a blend of Grenache (41 %), Shiraz(40%) and Mouvedre (19%). This wine will age over the next 5-8 years or so but the idea is to drink it younger rather than older.
