在新西兰
一次看懂葡萄酒產區-紐西蘭(New Zealand)紐西蘭不只白酒,也有黑皮諾?
說到紐西蘭,你會想到什麼?綿羊,美麗的風景...還有魔戒(對吧!)然後,身為葡萄酒愛好者,應該還有紐西蘭的白酒吧?近幾年紐西蘭葡萄酒主打著”Pure Discovery”的口號,想把這個美麗島國的葡萄酒帶給世界,雖然產量不大,但已經在世界打響名號了!現在就讓品迷網與葡萄酒部落客Odin合作,帶你了解這個純淨之國的葡萄酒:
簡介紐西蘭位於南半球,由南到北緯度相距約有六度,對照北半球相同的位置,大約等於巴黎到非洲北部,(涵蓋歐洲最富盛名的幾處產區:Burgundy、Rhone、Bordeaux),照理說應是南半球最適合種植釀酒葡萄的國家,不過由於海島型多雨氣候,使得這裡溫度較低,因而與北半球歐洲的大陸型氣候有著極大的差異。剛剛開始發展葡萄酒產業時,因為葡萄成熟度不足,所釀成的葡萄酒艱澀難以入口,一直到了1970年代才有較好的改善,加大對南島的開發力度,培育優良葡萄品種來適應多雨的天氣,最後逐漸成為全世界最具潛力,活躍的產酒國。
葡萄品種因為氣候的關係,紐西蘭以白酒的產量最大,但也有少量的紅葡萄品種
黑皮諾(Pinor Noir)紐西蘭少數的紅葡萄品種,這幾年紐西蘭的Pinor Noir水準逐漸進步,跟法國Burgundy比起來價格經濟實惠許多。另外,本地的Pinor Noir因果實較碩大,香氣更濃厚,酒體也較厚重,有些酒款會帶著一點禽肉的味道。
推薦酒莊:Sileni Estate,Main Devide,
白蘇維濃(Sauvignon Blanc)紐西蘭出口最多的葡萄酒。這裡出產的Sauvignon Blanc帶著強烈的植物性香氣,如剛剛割過的青草、蘆筍、青椒的香氣,最為典型的是刺激性的黑醋栗芽孢的香氣,這種味道也常常被人比喻為貓尿味,而且帶有清爽的酸度。大部分紐西蘭的Sauvignon Blanc適合在年輕時飲用。
推薦的酒莊:Cloudy Bay
夏多內(Chardonnay)是的,又是Chardonnay。紐西蘭的Chardonnay風格大多細致優雅,不過在北島溫暖的Gisborne,也可以展現出類似Burgundy Chardonnay豐滿圓潤的一面
推薦酒莊:Pegasus Bay, Highfield
酒標辨認如同許多新世界的酒款,紐西蘭的酒標相當平易近人,酒莊,葡萄品種及年份都清楚的標示在酒標上
產區介紹
Auckland
位於北島,圍繞在以其同名城市作為中心。在奧克蘭市區向南一個半小時的地區,布滿葡萄園。這裡培育著很多葡萄品種,包括Merlot、Cabernet Sauvignon、Syrah,甚至有些令人出乎意料的品種,如Nebbiolo、Sangiovese。
Bay of Plenty
位於北島的一個產區。
Canterbury
位於南島,面積很廣大的一個產區,因為實在太大了,所以沒有辦法歸納其特色。多數葡萄園種植白酒的 Riesling和 Chardonnay,因此區氣候寒冷,某些年份甚至會有葡萄熟成的問題。
Gisborne
位於北島,產量最多的產區,以 Chardonnay、Sauvignon Blanc 為主。Hawkes Bay 因種植 Cabernet Sauvignon、Merlot,再加上其受年份影響的表現,因此又被稱做 Bordeaux of New Zealand。
Marlborough
位於南島,算是紐西蘭最佳產區,此區有著很長且乾的秋天,對葡萄熟成至採收的這段期間是好的。種植Sauvignon Blanc、Pinot Noir。
Otago
地球上最南端的葡萄酒產區,氣候極端,屬於寒冷的大陸性氣候,葡萄種植在山坡上,希望能盡量增楊加陽光照射的可能性。主要種植 Pinot Noir、Riesling。
Waikato
位於北島的一個產區。

黑皮诺

你这照片和地名好像是错位了。

Riesling就不要选CO的了,Hawke's Bay会优秀很多

大哥你出現了~前輩

我是不是认识你啊?!你怎么帮老刘同志做着广告呢?

who is 老刘?? 不認識,只覺得那酒不錯,你也可介紹一下其他酒莊呀^^

我是说你的签名

這是我們公司的車呀^^

你和Louis一起?

感觉正相反...Central Otago的寒冷气候更适合Riesling生长
评论
你说得有一定道理,但是好的Riesling并不单独追求寒冷,CO的Riesling,甚至包括Pinot Noir都以Fruity的平滑和易入口闻名,这点对于很多人来说是好事,但是我并不是非常喜欢,具体的说是越来越不喜欢,相比之下,我更喜欢Hawke's Bay的Riesling,因为她们更有层次,更有内涵,甘油醇香也越足,另外性价比也更高。
不过,口味的东西,仁者见仁智者见智。

我觉得正确解答是顶级RIESLING生长在寒冷气候中的温暖气候。顶尖德国雷司令都种在土壤非常贫瘠非常陡的坡上,并接受河水阳光的反射以保证足够的日照。我之所以说CENTRAL OTAGO的雷司令要好的多,不仅仅是它局部的微型气候, 南岛收获的季节比北岛相对要晚一个月,而CO局部雷司令又要再晚一个月,你也知道对雷司令来说,酸度是多么重要。这就是为什么我说CO的雷司令在品质上要高,因为只有中部奥塔哥地区的气候,能给雷司令这种高酸度并且细腻的特质。同理,我也不觉得澳大利亚那些充满柴油和打火石味的雷司令有多么高级,这些都是酿酒技术以及气候地理条件达不到造成的。

这个问题一言难尽,不过马尔堡曾有一家酒装做过几款不错的限量雷司令,你可以试试, Framingham

澳大利亚除了shiraz,别的酒真心不行啊,至少我喝着感觉不怎么样

Pinot producers backing Burgundy
.
Central Otago pinot noir winegrowers are lending colleagues in the Burgundy region of France a hand to lobby the New Zealand Government.
Burgundy has set its sights on achieving Unesco World Heritage status and must show the region has relevance and value.
To help its case, the Burgundy region is sending a delegation of three to Wellington later this month, seeking Prime Minister John Key's signature on a letter explaining the value New Zealand has derived from its relationship with Burgundy.
Wanaka winegrower Nick Mills is organising the visit, believing what is good for Burgundy will also be good for Central Otago.
He told the Otago Daily Times yesterday the two pinot noir regions competed against other wine varieties but not against each other and the regions had been hosting educational and cultural exchanges since 2006.
Pinot noir has a 25-year history in Central Otago but a 2000-year history in Burgundy and Mr Mills said Central Otago had adopted many of the techniques developed in Burgundy.
''It's a sort of cultural seed that has floated its way around the planet, pretty much as far as it can go before it starts coming home again, and germinated itself here in Central Otago.''
Mr Mills said the delegation included the world's leading figure in pinot noir production, Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and he would have the chance to see how the seed of pinot noir production from Burgundy had taken root in Central Otago.
By supporting Burgundy in its application to Unesco, the New Zealand Government would be ''celebrating and allowing Central Otago to be celebrated under the same auspices'', Mr Mills said.
A letter of support from the Government would be ''validating everything we are trying to do down here as well'', he said.
Central Otago Winegrowers Association president James Dicey said in a statement an ''immense depth'' of knowledge, tradition and culture had been offered by Burgundy to Central Otago winegrowers.
''We're delighted to support their world heritage bid.
''Their win is also ours.''
After attending a reception in Wellington on January 26, the delegation will travel to Central Otago.
A reciprocal event is planned in Burgundy in October.

I believe it is good for NZ wineries and bring NZ Pinot Noir to Chinese Market, which is traditionally occupied by French wines.
Pinot Nior is a very special variety, due to its fruity taste comparing to other red wine, I think it will be difficult to copy or dilute......
