你知道釀造方式對葡萄酒有咩野影響？

  Chardonnay木桶VS不鏽鋼桶

使用不鏽鋼桶發酵可以呈現青蘋果、蜜桃等水果的清爽芳香；而使用橡桶陳年的Chardonnay則表現出太妃糖、奶油、香草般軟溜溜的香味。十月去New Zealand Wine Master Class, Bob Campbell 介紹支用法國木桶釀製左12個月Sacred Hill Riflemen’s Chardonnay 2010.

Sacred Hill Riflemen’s Chardonnay 2010

Winery: Sacred Hill

Region: Hawke’s Bay

Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Vintage: 2010

Alcohol: 14%

Bob Campbell “ Hand Picked grapes from the relatively high altitude Rifleman’s vineyards were whole bunch pressed then fermented and aged in French oak barriques for 12 months. Intense, nutty and complex wine with plenty of mineral . hazelnut and whole meal flavours adding extra interest to citrus and white peach fruit flavours.” Bob Campbell 94/100

點評：色澤淡黄，富有的橡木、榛子和果仁的香氣瀰漫於空氣當中，口味複雜華美，當中有礦化、榛子和果仁，加上清新的酸度烘托著檸檬和白桃果味。(Roy Choi評分：94/100)
