羅尼史壯酒廠 產區精選系列 白堊丘 夏多娜白酒Rodney Strong Vineyards Estate Vineyards Series Chardonnay, Chalk Hill

Story 故事 In 1965, our founder Rod Strong was the first to plant chardonnay in what would later be recognized as the Chalk Hill American Viticultural Area (AVA), established officially in 1983. He recognized the region as distinct from the rest of Russian River Valley for its unique chalky white soils, which impart a subtle mineral character to wines grown there. 早在1965年Rodney Strong 酒莊的創立者Rod Strong先生， 就發現了這個具有白堊土質的地區， 並成為第一位在此地種植夏多娜葡萄的先驅， 歷經100多年以後， 白堊丘才在1983年正式被美國官方認證為AVA美國葡萄酒產區”。 有別於俄羅斯河谷其他地方，其獨特的白堊土質， 讓在這裡生長的葡萄可以釀造出帶有細緻礦物風味特色的葡萄酒。

在新舊混合的法國橡木桶中利用”木桶發酵”來增加香草及香料等複雜香氣。 在橡木桶中培養12個月的期間，透過定期攪拌木桶內的酵母沉澱物， 讓酒帶有奶油質地般的優雅圓潤口感。 在酒杯中能同時呈現出清脆的柔滑口感，並帶有金色水梨、香草與梅爾檸檬的香甜風味， 悠長綿延的尾韻伴隨迷人的礦物氣息。

Serving Suggestion 搭配建議 Enjoy o with soft cheeses, fresh crab or roasted pork loin. 適合搭配軟質起士、新鮮螃蟹與烤豬里肌。 Awards 獎項 2021 WineReviewOnline.com - 93 points (18) 2021 Tasting Panel - 92 points (18) 2021 Harvest Challenge - Gold (18) 2021 Wine.com - 90 points (18) 2020 OwenBargreen.com - 90 points (18) 2020 Wine Spectator - 90 points (17) 2020 Wine & Spirits - 92 points (17) (BEST BUY) 2019 Wine Spectator - 90 points (16) 2018 James Suckling - 90 points (16) 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition - Gold (15) 2017 Robert Parker - 90 points (15) 2016 Sommelier Challenge - 95 points (14) 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards - Commended (13) 2014 Wine Advocate - 90 points (13) 2014 Decanter World Wine Awards - Bronze (12) 2014 Wine & Spirits - 91 points (12) (BEST BUY) 2013 Sommelier Challenge - Platinum Award - 94 points (12) 2012 Wine Enthusiast - 90 points (10) 2011 Dam Berger’s Vintage Experiences, The Weekly Commentary - Exceptional (09) 2011 Wine & Spirits - Most Popular Wine by the class, 4 Stars (09) 2011 San Diego International Wine Competition Award Winning - Gold (09) 2009 Sante - Gold Star (09)
