For as long as we can remember, an intriguing black cat has shadowed us in our vineyards. For luck, our first
winemaker fastened a number-nine amulet to its collar, representing the nine mythical lives of a cat.
This 9 Lives reserve is crafted using the best grapes as a tribute to our mysterious friend. Now this black cat
and number-nine amulet, emblazoned on this very bottle, cross your path.
令人好奇的神秘黑貓遊走在葡萄園中,猶如守護著每一年的葡萄收成,
第一任酒廠釀酒師將9 號守護符繫於貓頸上,象徵9 命的神奇力量能帶來好運。
以最好的葡萄釀造出此酒款,獻給守護葡萄園的神祕朋友,
烙印在瓶上的黑貓與9 號字樣祈禱著好運降臨。
Winemaking 釀造方式
The grapes begin the alcoholic fermentation as soon as they arrive at the winery. The fermentation is carried
out at between 26-28°C, where the higher temperature range is used to achieve greater extraction during the
first phase. After that, the temperature remains stable at 26ºC. Fermentation lasts 7 days.
葡萄採收後直接進酒窖酒精發酵,溫度維持26-28°C,
初步採用較高的溫度以萃取更多精華,之後以26°C 穩定的發酵,共七天。
Tasting Note 品試筆記

Silky tannins offer a good structure.
紅寶石色澤,充滿黑色與紅色水果香氛,伴隨來自木桶熟成帶來的細緻菸草、
香草、香料氣息,絲滑單寧築構完好整體結構。
