【シャルドネ】
2009年に開墾したシェルフと1999年に開墾したオリジナルブロックであるライムワークスのバレルセレクトブレンド。

The Bell Hill Chardonnay is a blend of the Shelf and Limeworks blocks. The Shelf and Limeworks 2009 were crushed, and the Limeworks 1999 was whole cluster pressed, all followed by 12 months in French oak (25% new), 8 months in tank and then bottled on the 9th of December 2019 with a pH of 3.53, TA of 5.6 g/L, and alcohol of 13%. 2,341 bottles were produced.

Flint struck at first with white florals, very reduced at present, needing time to open. Lovely entry on the palate with fennel, anise seed and Mexican orange blossom. Good fleshy fruit weight with fine acid length and mouth-watering mineral finish.

【ピノ・ノワール】
ワイナリー創世記からコツコツと開墾を続けて来たBellHill。世界中のピノノワールと比較しても最高レベルでしょう。

he Bell Hill Pinot Noir is a blend of the Shelf parcels, the Shelf West, Quarry Rootlings and 10/5, the Roadblock and Slope. Most of the fruit was destemmed giving lots of whole berries and a small number of whole clusters were used in the Quarry 10/5 and Shelf 1998 ferments. The ferments had 26 to 30 days on skins with cold pre-ferment and warm post-ferment macerations. After basket pressing, the wine went into 100% new French oak, it was racked and blended after 12 months and had 8 months in tank before bottling on the 9th of December 2019 with a pH of 3.66, TA of 5.4 g/L and an alcohol of 13.5%. 4,911 bottles were produced. One barrel of the Shelf 1998 was bottled for a Single Parcel Pinot Noir giving 285 bottles.

A reductive lift of struck match and flint with primary fruit notes, spicy with a sweet palate entry, soft and relaxed palate with long mineral flow, vibrant acid fruit tension with opulence and silky, fine tannins. Not heavy in structure or colour but has a fine mineral flow and salinity that give a lengthening direction to the wine. A linear wine that has a salivating energy to the wine, giving it nervosity and tension.
