半個世紀以來，黑后葡萄是台灣主要釀酒紅葡萄。2015年，我們在彰化二林找到傳承三代的農夫世家-涂大哥。我們一起栽培守護，透過高品質樹冠管理，讓整個生長季豐沛的陽光與流動的空氣，達到每一株葡萄藤健康平衡。特釀N° 15的栽培年，春雨的洗禮緩慢了成熟的步伐，颱風來襲前稍早摘的葡萄經手工選果、整串溫和壓榨，真實呈現黑后獨特鮮明的風味。

For half a century, the Black Queen grape is the major red wine grape in Taiwan. In 2015, we found a family of three generations of farmers, Mr.Tu, in Changhua Erlin. We cultivate and guard together, through the management of high-quality canopy, let the whole season grow abundant sunshine and flowing air to achieve a healthy balance of each vine. During the cultivation year of the special N° 15, the baptism of the spring rain slowed down the mature pace. The grapes picked earlier before the typhoon were hand-selected and the whole series of gentle pressed, realizing the unique and distinct flavor after the Black Queen.
