Tasting note : Heymann-Löwenstein - Schieferterrassen Riesling 2015


Heymann-Löwenstein - Schieferterrassen Riesling 2015

Grown on Slate Stone compounded soil & on the steep slopes in Winningen - Mosel region in Germany, “Schieferterrassen” is blended from various vineyards in Winningen & Kobern, mixed up with different kinds of Slate as well as declassified from Grand Cru - Grosses Gewachs. And in the cellar, leaving the juice about 24 to 48 hours skin contact before fermenting close to full dryness, winemaker chose to add 10 to 20% botrytis fruit to his dry wines.

Pale Straw color shown in the glass. Generous flood of fragrance aromas which are honeyed, ripe stone fruit, citrus  peel and a hints of honeysuckle floral notes. One the palate there are very fine nuances in between fruit and minerals ; Moderate acidity with well balanced sweetness by residual sugar and medium body ; Refreshing mouth feeling, smoky & wet stone character can be found too and it came with sweetly finish at the end. 

In conclusion, this is a perfumed wine contained elegancy which is showing great promise. For me it is fined structure, friendly and approachable. It can be kept a couple of years more for development but I will choose to drink fresh. Chinese Cuisine is highly recommended for this wine to go with, but I am also very happy to finish it alone ~ !

回憶,多半是酸溜溜的。

最近覺得,自己開始踏入試酒既領域。大路既國家已經開始捉到用神,都算係一個好既開始。畢竟,2013已經過去,新一年都應該有個新開始… Bodega Catena Zapata,意大利人去到阿根廷紮根,目標係釀造出最接近當地風土既酒。又的而且確,我飲過最好飲既Malbec、阿根廷酒,就只有呢個酒莊。對我黎講,佢代表了這個國家的酒,打開了我的門。就價錢而言,中級酒款已接近四百,旗艦酒款更接近一千。外行人以至一般飲家而言係不值一買。不過,一分錢一分貨,你願意俾錢,佢絕對交到功課。2010新酒,一開瓶就進入狀態,濃度好高,酒精感強,深色到不得了。皮革、肉桂、乾香草,新鮮而高濃度黑梅、雲尼拿,感覺到木桶香氣同枝酒融合得好好,是緊緊的而唔係分開散散的。果香的甜,令人悄悄忽略左本身一定既酸度。當然,咁濃既酒絕對唔可以飲得好多。如果話Chabis是生蠔的伴,羊架就是Malbec。如再多等個三年,我認為會更好。 我覺得,1993年開始造酒,ConoSur 一直都可以話係智利餐酒中的一個保證,所謂 ‘蔗喳既價錢,造到叉燒既味道’。記得Decanter都有講過佢呢支Pinot Noir既物值高,個人認為已經望到澳洲、紐西蘭既水準,而且智利Casablanca出既Pinot又一直水準穩定。不過,比起之前飲過既Single vinyard Cabernet Sauvignon,又差左一D深度。Red Cherry、Grassy、Drill herbs、Slightly Oak aroma,Medium Body,Medium Acidity。 以一支不到二百元的酒來說就很不錯,同埋最緊要係飲得舒服。值得一提既係,落左醒酒器,更開放,更好飲。而今年其中一個既飲酒目標係,要試一支高級酒款既智利酒! 講真!我真係好鐘意飲Brunello…! 同埋唔知點解,總係覺得神之水滴,第十二門徒係南美酒…

生活記#2nd

"住係呢條小村莊,我終於明白點解人們都滿足於此地,安於現狀。  雖然人唔多,但係人與人之間就好Close,好有人情味, 我發覺已經好耐冇係城市裡面搵到了; 早午晚每個人見到面既時候,無論你係係面前或者係隔到九杖遠都好, 都會同你“Hallo~Hallo~“咁打朝呼,連對我呢個外來既面孔亦唔例外" 每逢大小節日,商戶會打開門口招呼村民,酒莊就當然提供飲品啦〜 24/7,我就食左個Classic Style既歐式薄餅, 飲左3大杯我地自家既作品:Weissburgunder,Riesling,Grio Rot; (當然係唔駛錢入我老闆數啦,因為佢地個名係呢條村都幾響,仲有4,5間屋添。。) 即使只係個小型聚會,大家坐埋一齊聚首一堂傾下計, 拎住杯酒坐係旁邊同老闆娘傾計, 難得佢冇乜架子,又就我同我講英文; 睇住佢兩個仔同班小朋友係唔夠50米既距離賽跑玩BB彈槍, 或者我呢個廿九歲來自城市既人,真的老矣。。。 雖然當晚冇玩過,但係真係好開心滿足〜 (當晚出期地平時挺怕醜冇咩野講既奥地利屋友同我講多野, 包括佢屋企隻狗,佢鐘意既女仔同佢屋企個酒莊;) 呢度D人成日都同我講,兩杯落肚之後我就會識得講德文, 講乜都會流利D,原來真係真嫁〜(≧∇≦) 最近試左款白酒係香港比較少飲 - Gewürztraminer Spätlese 呢隻提子其實都常飲,但係Spatlese就相對少見。 Of course人就係德國,要飲就當然係飲Made in Germany啦 産自東南部的一個城鎮-Westhofen ( 距離我住嗰度唔算遠,10+Km咁啦 ) Gewürztraminer-特徵係豐富既香氣。 好多人一聞就可能會講:“唔....個味道好熟悉....係荔枝!“ 冇錯!呢個就係Gewürztraminer既標誌,而科學研究又會話你知佢地係share埋同一款Aroma Compounds~ Spätlese的不同之處比平常來得更多濃郁既甜香,原因係用既提子需要比平常的收割遲少少(At least 7 days),所以一般黎講會比較熟且糖份亦相對為高一點。我諗可能係為左保留一定甜度,所以係呢支酒裡面既酒精度就做得平常低,只有1...
