再談 Tapanappa : Lucy Croser 的回覆!
Dear Mr Tsang,
Thank-you for contacting us regarding the Tapanappa Whalebone Vineyard 2003 Cabernet Shiraz that you tasted recently in Hong Kong.
I have attached to this email a brochure that will enable you to understandmore about this exciting new venture that was entered into by Brian Croser,the Cazes family from Chateau Lynch Bages in Bordeaux and the Bollinger family from Champagne only 3 1/2 years ago.
In it, you will see that the name Tapanappa can roughly be translated fromits Aboriginal roots as meaning "stick to the path". The name was taken fromthe Aboriginal name for a sandstone formation that exists in the FleurieuPeninsula which is a region that is very close to Brian Croser's heart.
As for our expectations for this project, you must first understand that itwas born out of a desire that all three partners have to seek out the bestterroir and to produce fine wine that reflects it accurately through the useof a combination of the right varietals, adapted viticultural practices andsensitive oenological techniques. Therefore, everything is undertaken with aview to maximising quality and giving the wine the freedom to express itsown character. This is a very time-consuming and costly process that meansthat this project will always remain limited in terms of quantity. It ishowever the three shareholders sincere hope that Tapanappa will serve as aflagship for the image of Australian fine wine around the world.
I hope that this has helped to answer your questions, but please do nothesitate to contact me if there is anything else that you should require (inparticular electronic copies of the images that are contained in thebrochure).
Kind Regards,
Lucy Croser
