点评:Four of us did a tasting a Elderton last week. We are all wine buffs, who have tasted extensively at cellar doors around the world, and I have to say that our experience at Elderton was World Class.
We had booked for the Exceptional Sites tasting, which we took in front of the fire at the historic Ashmead residence (now the cellar door) on a winter’s afternoon. The house itself is set in the middle to home block vineyard site, surround by vines, some quite ancient, so the setting is special.
Jodhi hosted us, guiding us through the range and throwing in a couple of unexpected treats along the way. We are familiar with much of the Elderton range, and so it was no surprise that the wines were excellent.
Equally, Jodhi was a warm and professional guide, whose knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for wine shone through. As we departed we spied her Australian 2023 Best Wine Communicator - Cellar Door award; based on our experience, that accolade was richly deserved.
Thanks Jodhi and Elderton for rounding our time in the Barossa with such a great tasting, and (as Kiwis) for the Pinot Noir banter!
翻译:我们四个人上周在 Elderton 品酒。我们都是葡萄酒爱好者,在世界各地的酒窖品尝过很多葡萄酒,我不得不说我们在 Elderton 的体验是世界级的。
我们预订了 Exceptional Sites 品酒会,在一个冬天的下午,我们在历史悠久的 Ashmead 住宅(现在是酒窖)的壁炉前参加了品酒会。房子本身位于家庭街区葡萄园的中间,周围环绕着葡萄藤,有些相当古老,所以环境很特别。
Jodhi 招待了我们,带我们参观了整个系列,并在途中为我们准备了一些意想不到的惊喜。我们对 Elderton 系列的大部分产品都很熟悉,所以葡萄酒非常棒也就不足为奇了。
同样,Jodhi 是一位热情而专业的导游,她的知识、热情和对葡萄酒的热爱都闪耀着光芒。当我们离开时,我们发现了她获得了澳大利亚 2023 年最佳葡萄酒传播者 - 酒窖奖;根据我们的经验,这一荣誉实至名归。
感谢 Jodhi 和 Elderton 为我们在巴罗萨谷的旅程带来了如此美妙的品酒体验,以及(作为新西兰人)与我们畅谈黑皮诺葡萄酒!
