澳洲葡萄酒白话版之 Chardonnay

Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay  来自于Western Australia的Margaret River。这个系列的Chardonnay同样也受到名人们的一致追捧，所以年份已经不太重要了，基本上都好，不过价格也是非常的昂贵。2003年份要85刀，2004/2005/2006年的要95刀。如果你买的话，存到2018年喝也行（不过我个人觉得会用风险啊:) ）2009-10-19 17:20:09 上传
下载附件 (9.67 KB)When Penfolds began to create a white wine of the stature and image of Grange, several people asked why they didn't just buy Leeuwin Estate. Arguably Australia's leading white wine, Leeuwin's chardonnay is an explosive mouthful of concentrated, creamy Margaret River chardonnay enhanced with excellent oak. It's our best cellaring chardonnay as well.
- Jeremy Oliver Purchased by Trish and Denis Horgan, Leeuwin Estate lies just south of the Margaret River township. The Art Series Block 20 vineyard lies on deeply weathered and laterised soils with rocky outcrops of gneiss and ironstone gravels. Pristine Chardonnay fruit characters are preserved throughout vinification. The wine is 100% barrel fermented in selected new French oak and matured in the same barr

There is subtle use of oak and a rich, buttery attack lifted with a lively acidity and a very long honeyed finish."
Tasted: May 2004
International Wine Challenge Gold 2004James Halliday Rating 96!
"Bin 00A. Brilliant, bright light to medium green-yellow; the bouquet has complex barrel ferment and malolactic ferment inputs on intense citrus fruit; it is that combination of malolactic and barrel ferment fruit which drives the long palate, anchored in nectarine and citrus, then a lingering finish and aftertaste. Seventy five per cent from Tumbarumba

下载附件 (27.24 KB)关于Picardy酒厂All wines bearing the Picardy label are made entirely from fruit grown on the Picardy vineyard and are vintaged and bottled by the Pannell Family. The red wines are noted for their vibrant colours and intensity of fine-grained tannins. The Chardonnay is produced in a delicate, refined style in keeping with the great wines of Burgundy. These wines all have pronounced structure and intense flavour. They are made to be drinkable in their youth and have certainly proved the test of time. The latest Picardy wines are superb. A 2003 Chardonnay is marvelously Burgundy-like in its hazelnutty…lees complexities and  lovely layered, taut,…finely textured palate. There are a deliciously foresty, fleshy, undergrowth 2002 Pinot Noir, a leaner, more nervy but fiercely intense '01 Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir, an impressively concentrated, gamey, sp

Jeremy Oliver 97 points
"A very stylish, powdery and mineral chardonnay whose sumptuously ripened flavours of honeydew melon, grapefruit and pineapple are tightly knit with sweet, spicy vanilla oak. It’s heady and perfumed, with an unctuous, silky-smooth but explosively flavoured palate whose intense tropical and citrusy fruit is carefully backed by creamy oak. It finishes long and chalky, with a wet slate-like backbone of fine phenolics and minerality."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.James Halliday 93 points!
"Light straw-green; an elegant mix of fig, stone fruit and ripe melon, the oak judged to perfection."

"Very classy indeed, this smooth and seamless chardonnay has a delicate fragrance of peach, melon and tightly knit vanilla oak with undertones of spice and wheatmeal. Long and creamy, it’s an essay in elegance and restraint, unfolding layers of grapefruit, melon and peachy flavours meshing neatly with a measured oak background and zesty acids. Terrific focus and shape, and excellent potential."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.Wine Advocate 90 points!
The 2005 Chardonnay was aged in 30% new oak. Medium straw-colored, it has a bouquet of toast, vanilla, butter, and baked apple. Full-flavored, mouth-filling, and ripe, this medium to full-bodied Chardonnay is well balanced, with nicely integrated oak and acidity leading to a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 4-6 years.

搭车向朱爸爸请教，一种叫vintage gem的酒是什么 很甜 很浓 颜色深紫红 酒精度比普通的红酒高一倍
我想大概是烈性葡萄酒 Fortified Wine里的一种吧，类似于Port。
这些甜酒很多女同学都喜欢，但是葡萄甜酒的酒精度数很高，很容易醉啊:)

Chardonnay是世界上最知名的葡萄品种，它的适应性很强，对气候的条件要求不高，从炎热干燥的南澳Riverland地区一直到寒冷潮湿的维多利亚的Macedon Ranges都能生长。这种葡萄甚至在完全成熟的时候还能够保持很高的酸度，所以它就像一块洁白的画布，任由酿酒师在其上施展自己的艺术技巧。Chardonnay葡萄在未成熟是果味酸涩寡淡，但是藏酿成熟后，香味就会惊人地增加。澳洲温暖的地区的Chardonnay是带有桃和蜜瓜味的香气，而在相对寒冷地区的Chardonnay就会有梨，葡萄，酸橙或者柑橘味道香气。Chardonnay的另一面就是那些奇奇怪怪的味道，比如，火石，板岩，生蚝壳和干苦的矿物味。2009-10-19 22:39:53 上传
下载附件 (50.18 KB)现在为Oatley家族所拥有的Craigmoor是澳大利亚第一批认识到Chardonnay市场潜力的酒庄之一，并且在1971年的时候在Mudgee生产出第一批Chardonnay白葡萄酒。同一时期，在Hunter Valley的Tyrrell's也有商品化的Chardonnay酒。Chardonnay葡萄需要在温暖的气候里早些采摘，因为要保持住酒里尽可能多的自然酸。大部分的白葡萄酒，不需要很成熟的发酵，因为很多酿酒师希望保持白葡萄酒口味的新鲜。但是Chardonnay是白葡萄酒世界里可以在橡木桶里发酵成熟的主要白葡萄酒品种。这其实是一种自然的调节，要等到主要的乙醇发酵阶段才开始的，术语叫做苹果乳酸菌发酵（Malolactic Fermentation)。因为Chardonnay酸度高，苹果酸的含量自然就很高。苹果酸是一种是苹果具有酸味的有机酸。自然界有一种叫做乳酸杆菌（Lactobacillus）的细菌可以将这种酸分解成乳酸（Lactic Acid），使得味觉上感到柔和一些。这些东东很复杂，其实也没必要弄的很清楚。但是大家可以记住澳洲Chardonnay最重要的特征就是“黄油味”，这种独特的味道不是由葡萄本身引起的，而是由苹果乳酸菌发酵造成的。所谓Oaked的Chardonnay里的橡木（通常是法国橡木）可以调节平衡果味，在橡木桶里成熟的Chardonnay会有香草， 燕麦，坚果，木头，烟熏味，奶油糖果或者pencil shavings（我汗死，这个不知道是啥味道？？？）所谓Unoaked的C

下面这些是Highly Recommended的Chardonnay白葡萄酒。如果是用红字黑体来标识的话，就代表这个酒庄生产的Chardonnay水准一贯很高，你可以不考虑年份，基本不会买错。:) Cullens Kevin John (Margaret River, Western Australia)2009-10-20 17:31:37 上传
