Chalkers Crossing is noted for its premium cool-climate wines produced in the Hilltops Region of central New South Wales, Australia.
中国地区最大的葡萄酒贸易展会香港国际美酒展于今日举行，Chalkers Crossing酒庄发布了红葡萄酒和白葡萄酒新系列。该酒庄位于澳大利亚新南威尔士州中部希托普斯产区，因其出产的凉爽气候葡萄酒而闻名。
The 2010 range of premium red wines consists of the 2008 Hilltops Shiraz, the 2008 Hilltops Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2009 Tumbarumba Pinot Noir. The ’08 Shiraz has already been awarded two Top Gold Medals (at the highly competitive Cowra and NSW Small Wine-Makers Shows) since its bottling only a few months ago. The ’08 Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded a Gold Medal at the Melbourne International Wine Show in October, adding to the Trophies (for Best Cabernet of Show) it received earlier again at the Cowra and NSW Small Wine-Makers Shows.
2010优质红葡萄酒系列包括2008年份希托普斯设拉子、2008年份希托普斯赤霞珠、2009年份唐巴兰姆巴黑比诺。 2008年份设拉子在装瓶几个月后，即在竞争激烈的考兰地区及新南威尔士州小型酿酒厂展中获得了两项最高金奖。2008年份赤霞珠在10月举行的墨尔本国际酒展中获得了金奖，这是继考兰地区及新南威尔士州小型酿酒厂展后的第二次获奖。
Chalkers Crossing’s new premium white wine range encompasses the 2009 Hilltops Riesling, the 2008 Tumbarumba Chardonnay and the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc. Both the 2009 Riesling and the 2008 Chardonnay are in the prestigious James Halliday Top 100 New South Wales Wines list, and are ideal wines for discerning Chinese and Asian palates.
Chalkers Crossing酒庄的白葡萄酒系列包括2009年份希托普斯雷司令，2008年份唐巴兰姆巴霞多丽和2009年份长相思。2009年份雷司令和2008年份霞多丽都入选了James Halliday的新南威尔士州葡萄酒名单前100位，也是中国和亚洲美食的理想佐餐酒。
Chalkers Crossing Winemaker, Celine Rousseau, will introduce these wines to the Asian market at the Hong Kong Fair, alongside the company’s Managing Director, Dr. Ted Ambler. Mme. Rousseau, the 2002 Qantas Young Winemaker of the Year, has been the Chalkers Crossing winemaker since 2000. Born in Paris, Mme. Rousseau studied microbiology and oenology in France before perfecting her wine-making skills in Bordeaux, Champagne and the Languedoc in France, as well as the Western Australian regions of Margaret River and the Perth Hills. This diverse experience and Celine’s own exceptionally high standards are reflected in the success of Chalkers Crossing wines at domestic and international exhibitions. Globally renowned wine experts, including the world’s authority on Australian wine, Mr. James Halliday, have consistently reviewed Chalkers Crossing cool-climate wines positively, praising highly Celine’s terroir-based viticulture and winemaking style.
Chalkers Crossing酒庄的酿酒师Celine Rousseau将和公司的执行总监Ted Ambler博士一道，在本次香港酒展中开发亚洲市场。Rousseau夫人荣获 2002年澳洲航空年度年轻酿酒师称号，自2000起开始担任Chalkers Crossing酒庄的酿酒师。Rousseau夫人出生在巴黎，在法国学习微生物学和酿酒学，其后陆续在法国的波尔多、香槟、朗格多克等产区以及西澳州的玛格丽特河谷、帕斯山等产区磨练酿酒技艺。这些多样的经历和Celine自身对酿酒的超高标准最终成就了Chalkers Crossing酒庄葡萄酒在国内外展览中的成功。享有国际声誉的澳大利亚葡萄酒专家詹姆斯·哈利德先生对Chalkers Crossing酒庄葡萄酒的评价一直都很好，对Celine以土壤为基础的葡萄栽培技术和高超的酿酒技艺尽是溢美之词。
Dr. Ambler is confident of a standout 2011 vintage, with the current growing season being one of the best on record. Consistent winter rains have ensured ample water storage and Chalkers Crossing’s vines are in exceptionally good condition.
Ambler博士对2011年份很有信心，因为目前的这一生长季节是有史以来最乐观的。持续的冬季降水保证了充足的水供应，Chalkers Crossing酒庄的葡萄树的状态非常好。
