About Capella Vineyard
靠近莫宁顿半岛西港海岸的是卡佩拉葡萄园，这是一个小型超优质葡萄园，在 VSP 棚
架上种植了 5.2 公顷的黑比诺和 1.6 公顷的霞多丽。葡萄藤是手工修剪和收获的，我们
越来越重视可持续的做法，例如使用堆肥覆盖物来增加土壤健康和生物多样性并减少用
水量。土壤为灰色粘壤土，受海洋影响强烈，全年风力适中。这些葡萄树于 2009 年种
植，已经酿造出数个非凡的年份。 2015 年种植了一块新的黑皮诺，目的是在葡萄园中
提供更多的克隆变异。葡萄藤种植在一个湖泊周围，该湖泊是繁华的留鸟和候鸟群落的
家园，其中包括我们标志性的黑天鹅。
Capella Vineyard 位于一个被称为“绿楔”的保护区内，这是墨尔本周围一圈具有重要环
境意义的土地，通常被称为城市的“肺”。

About Capella Vineyard
Near the shores of Western Port on the Mornington Peninsula is Capella Vineyard, a small ultra-premium vineyard with 5.2 ha of Pinot Noir and 1.6 ha of Chardonnay planted on VSP trellis. The vines are hand pruned and hand harvested and we place an increasing emphasis on sustainable practices such as the use of compost mulch to increase soil health and biodiversity and reduce water usage. Soils are grey clay loam and there is a strong maritime influence, with moderating winds year-round. Planted in 2009, the vines have already produced several exceptional vintages. A new block of Pinot Noir was planted in 2015 with the aim of providing more clonal variation in the vineyard. The vines are planted around a lake that is home to a thriving community of resident and migratory birds, including our signature black swans.
Capella Vineyard is in a protected zone known as the "green wedge", a ring of environmentally-significant land surrounding Melbourne and often called the "lungs" of the city.
