OUR VINEYARD

我们的葡萄园

We make Warramunda Estate wines to reflect their terroir – the distinctive place in which they are grown, Coldstream. The work we do in the vineyard is imperative to reflect and respect the earth in which the grapes are grown. Covering some sixty-five acres, the vineyard consists of Chardonnay, Viognier, Marsanne, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon plantings. In 2015, we converted 23 rows of Cabernet Sauvignon to include Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, which are blended along with the Cabernet Sauvignon to make our Warramunda Cabernets a Bordeaux style blend.

我们酿出的Warramunda酒庄的葡萄酒反应了该产区的真实特性，所以我们在葡萄园的工作便是尊重和焕发这片生长出葡萄的土地的特色。65公顷的葡萄园，混合种着设拉子、赤霞珠、马尔萨讷、维欧尼和黑皮诺。在2015年，我们把23排赤霞珠，换成品丽珠、马尔贝克、梅洛和小维度。让我们的Warramunda霞多丽能有波尔多的风格。

Warramunda Estate practises sustainable viticulture which combines the practice of organic and biodynamic philosophies. We focus from the earth to the vine primarily managing the microflora that exist in the soil. Our soil consists of layers of sandy loam, sedimentary rock, sandstone cap followed by more sedimentary rock then finally clay. The microflora mainly exist within the sandy loam which is at the surface. We focus on planting organic materials such as rye & clover (cover crops) which is worked through the sandy loam (compost), promoting high levels of worm activity and creating a high-quality balance of microflora.

Warramunda酒庄秉承着可持续种植的理念，结合有机和生物动力农法的哲学。我们专注土壤和葡萄藤，主要是管理在土壤中的菌群。我们的土壤由沙质的壤土，沉积岩，和砂岩，然后更多的沉积岩，最后就是泥土组成。菌群主要存在于表层的沙土中，我们种植有机的植物，黑麦与三叶草来遮挡作物，同时也能够长穿沙土，从而提高蚯蚓的活动以及产生更高质量的菌群。

We rely on only natural rainfall which also delivers a balance throughout the growing season. All vineyard management processes are determined by the Lunar Cycle which outlines four three-day periods called flower day, fruit day, root day and leaf day. Throughout the lunation cycle the moon passes through four phases – New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon and Last Quarter. The number of days between each change of phase can vary from 6.75 to 8. All vineyard management processes such as pruning are determined by the Lunar Cycle.

我们只依赖于天然降雨，在成长季提供均衡。葡萄园的管理流程取决于月历，包含4个三天的期间，分别叫做花天，果天，根天和叶天。相对一的月相是新月，眉月，满月和残月。每个阶段可能在6.75到8天之间。所有个管理工作都取决于月历，比如说修剪枝叶。

Our focus on canopy ensures that we have a balanced ratio of grapes to foliage, creating the right amount of energies driven into the development and ripening of fruit. This process confirms that we have the exact balance between sugars and acids at harvest.

The vineyard’s canopies are protected throughout the growing season with the use of natural sprays such as Bordeaux Blend (Copper Sulphur). We strictly use no insecticides which, aside from being better for the environment, also promote a diverse selection of beneficial insects that eat all the predatory pests and insects. Each step provides the perfect balance to grow super premium grapes.

我们对于葡萄藤的管理主要集中在平衡葡萄和叶子的比例，以便产出足够的能量让葡萄有效的成熟。这个流程确保我们的葡萄有着均衡的糖分和酸度。葡萄藤在生长季采用天然喷剂进行保护。我们绝不采用任何除虫药剂，这会对我们整个地球都更好，同时也能筛选出益虫。每一步都为结出优质葡萄提供了完美的平衡。

Our vineyard team spends a significant amount of time tending to each vine in each block to ensure the vines are healthy and reflecting their natural growth patterns to produce fruit of optimum quality. The culmination of each of these small and melodic steps is to produce an output that is both unique to the individual style of the wine that we are creating while reflecting the distinctive terroir of Warramunda Estate. These are benchmark wines which are true to the characteristics of Coldstream in the Yarra Valley, strong varietal aromas, wonderful flavours and soft balanced tannins.

我们的葡萄园团队每天都花很多很多的时间在每一株葡萄藤上面，确保他们健康，同时自然地生长，以获取最高品质。这里面的每一小步最终汇集成一瓶瓶有独特品质风格，且能反映Warramunda酒庄产区的特色的葡萄酒。这些酒是标杆，真实的反映了雅拉谷冷溪产区的特色，强烈的香味，出色的味道以及柔软平衡的单宁。

TERROIR

产区

The Yarra Valley is one of Australia’s most renowned cool climate wine regions. The mild, temperate climate of warm summers, crisp winters and generous winter and spring rainfall create the ideal environment for producing premium wine grapes. Our northerly aspect ensures our vines receive maximum sunshine exposure which is essential for balanced grape development and vine growth.

雅拉谷是澳大利亚最知名的冷气候产区之一。夏天温暖，冬天刺骨，以及春冬的充沛降雨为该地区生产顶级品质的葡萄形成了完美的环境。我们的葡萄藤朝北，确保最大量的日照，这对葡萄的发育以及葡萄藤的生长之间的平衡起着至关重要的作用。

Much of the estate straddles bedrock composed of sedimentary sandstone and a series of sub and topsoil. The soil is relatively acidic yet porous providing favourable drainage and the position and attributes of the vineyard are idyllic for the varieties we grow. The vines are north-facing and on a downward slope, providing essential drainage to the flats of the Yarra River. We are just a short distance from the Warramate Hills which provide a natural screen from the elements, alongside other well established winery neighbours such as Yeringberg, Oakridge, Coldstream Hills and Yarra Yering. All of these elements combined create a unique and ideal setting for cultivating superior grapes for outstanding wines.

葡萄园的土地大部分都有沉积岩和在其上层与下层的土壤。这些土壤相对的偏酸但是多孔，非常适合排水。葡萄园的选址以及属性非常契合我们所种植的葡萄品种。葡萄藤朝北并种植在向下的坡道上。对于排水至关重要。我们离Warramate 山丘不远，它为我们提供了天然的屏障。我们周边有很多盛名的酒庄，如Yeringberg, Oakridge, Coldstream Hills和Yarra Yering。这些所有的元素组合在一起，非常适合生长出顶级葡萄和酿出出彩的葡萄酒。
