[香港，2010年11月4日星期四]
Today at the China region’s largest fine wine trade fair, the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair, Australian family-owned Printhie Wines released to Asia its new range of super-premium Swift Family Heritage red wines.
中国最大的葡萄酒贸易展会香港国际美酒展今日在香港开幕，来自澳大利亚的家族式葡萄酒商Printhie酒业面向亚洲市场推出了“Swift家族传承”系列顶级佳酿新品葡萄酒。
World renowned expert on Australian wines, James Halliday said in his 2009-2010 Australian Wine Companion that “Printhie can fairly claim to be premier winery of the Orange Region”. As befitting the fast-growing region’s premier winery, the Swift Family Heritage range sits at the pinnacle of the Halliday Five Red Star rated producer’s reserve wines.
世界著名澳大利亚葡萄酒专家James Halliday先生在其所著2009-2010年度的《澳大利亚葡萄酒指南》中这样表述：“Printhie酒业是澳大利亚奥兰治葡萄酒产区当之无愧的精英。”作为这一快速成长的酒区所产葡萄酒代表，Swift家族传承系列在评价优质陈酿的Halliday五星葡萄酒评级中名列前茅。
Consisting of the Swift Family Heritage 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2008 Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, the newly-released range exemplifies Printhie winemaker Drew Tuckwell’s highly awarded style. “The wines from Orange have distinct regional characters due to the cool climate, high elevation and volcanic soils. Ours are very exciting wines to make and exciting wines to drink”, said Tuckwell.
刚刚推出的新系列包括Swift家族传承系列2005年份赤霞珠、2006年份梅洛赤霞珠和2008年份设拉子赤霞珠，显示出Printhie酒业酿酒师Drew Tuckwell的出色技艺。他说：“由于凉爽的气候、较高的海拔和火山土壤，奥兰治产区的葡萄酒特点突出，与众不同。酿酒和品酒的过程都美妙极了。”
Joining the Swift Family Reserve range at the Hong Kong Fair are the 2005 Cellar Release Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2010 Shanghai International Wine Challenge “Best Red Wine” trophy winning 2007 Printhie Mountain Range Shiraz, the latter now only being available in limited quantities. These two wines, in particular, have been acknowledged as exemplary food wines for Shanghai-style and other Chinese cuisines.
参加本届香港酒展的Swift家族珍藏系列包括2005年份设拉子赤霞珠和获得2010年上海国际葡萄酒挑战赛最佳红酒奖的2007年份Printhie山脉系列设拉子，后者现只在市场上限量出售。这两种葡萄酒被公认为享用上海菜和其他风味中国菜的最佳佐餐葡萄酒。
Printhie and the Orange region are set for a great vintage in early 2011 after a cold and wet winter ended the drought. South-eastern Australia, including many of its best wine regions, has suffered from protracted drought for much of the last decade. Agricultural producers – and especially wine producers – have shown great character and determination to continue to produce high quality wine during such difficult times. Now the drought has ended.
寒冷潮湿的冬天将彻底结束长期以来的干旱，而在此后的2011年初，Printhie酒业和奥兰治产区一定会迎来一个绝佳的葡萄酒收获和酿造期。澳大利亚东南部及其所属的众多优质葡萄酒产区在过去十年中饱受长期干旱的困扰。农业生产者尤其是葡萄酒商在这种困境中仍然坚持不懈地生产高品质的葡萄酒。如今，干旱终于要结束了。
“We have not experienced a wet winter like this for 10 years”, said Printhie owner James Swift. “We had fantastic rainfall and a bit of snow, the soil is wet. Spring has arrived the vines are growing beautifully.”
“已经有10年没遇到这么潮湿的冬天了，”Printhie酒业的所有者James Swift先生说，“土壤在雨水和雪水的浇灌下变得湿润，春天到了，葡萄一定会长势喜人。”
The whole Orange region is optimistic with grape growers reporting full water dams and a terrific start to the growing season. “All the growers that we buy grapes from are very optimistic about the 2010-2011 season. They are expecting normal yields of very high quality grapes and we are confident of producing very high quality wine”, said Printhie’s Director of Viticulture, Edward Swift.
据葡萄生产者们透露，目前水坝存水充足，葡萄生长季节也有了一个不错的开始，整个奥兰治产区前景十分乐观。“我们的葡萄供应者都对2010-2011季节十分看好，预计高品质葡萄会保持正常产量。我们对生产优质葡萄酒也充满信心。”Printhie酒业葡萄栽培总监Edward Swift向我们介绍道。
