Eisele Vineyard
一块土地,三任主人,四十年始终如一的伟大。
Eisele Vineyard 是纳帕谷风土论最有力的证据之一。这块位于 Calistoga 东北角的葡萄园自 1960 年代被 Milton 和 Barbara Eisele 种植以来,先后由 Joseph Phelps、Bart 和 Daphne Araujo、以及现在的 Chateau Latour(开云集团)管理——三任截然不同的主人,但这块地始终生产出具有惊人一致性的伟大葡萄酒。火山灰土壤、被山脉环绕的独特微气候赋予了这里的 Cabernet 一种标志性的矿物感和精确度。2013年法国一级庄 Chateau Latour 的母公司收购了这块地,将其重命名为 Eisele Vineyard,这是对这块风土最高的致敬——波尔多最伟大的名字也承认了纳帕最伟大的土地。
