智利酒莊


Montes

 Montes酒莊的老闆之一,同時也是首席釀酒師的Aurelio Montes非常有才華,天生就是當釀酒師的料,他在學生時代,便想證明位於Colchagua區的Apalta Valley是智利生產紅酒最好的地方;這個地區是丘陵與斜坡,土壤貧瘠,表層是厚厚的砂礫,平均坡度15度,最陡甚至可達45度,不過Aurelio Montes認為這裡西邊靠近海洋,東邊是山脈,日間溫暖可供葡萄成熟,夜間涼爽讓質地更為細緻,提供了完美的成長環境。
 
憑著Aurelio Montes的直覺與理想,他在Apalta的陡坡上種植Syrah品種,這也成了Montes Folly的由來。這片名為La Finca de Apalta的園地是幾乎無法耕作的山坡,更別提利用機械大量收成,如此貧瘠、整地困難、照料不易,極度仰賴人工的地方栽種葡萄,所花費的時間與昂貴代價難以計算,這樣的行為被同行認為是愚笨,而且這個地區從來沒有嘗試過種植Syrah品種,也沒有人能保證釀出來的酒是否能夠入口,但Aurelio Montes憑著多年來的狂野夢想,堅持走下去。
 
而成果是豐碩的,現在Montes是世界最大的釀酒集團之一,而且驚人的是雖然產量多,但仍能夠兼顧品質。
 
The first activities at our vineyard began in 1987. Two partners with great illusions, Aurelio Montes and Douglas Murray, both holding long-standing experience in the wine industry, were certain Chile could improve on the quality it was producing at the time. It seemed as if the large and medium-scale vineyards were satisfied with limiting their distribution to local supermarkets. They certainly knew how to produce premium wines, but didn’t feel up to it, they were satisfied with the niche markets they had attained, which was certainly broad, although small. In 1988, another two original partners joined in, Alfredo Vidaurre and Pedro Grand, each providing their qualified, complimentary views, and thus, Viña Montes was formally born, initially under the name Discover Wine Ltda., a saga that has made Chile internationally known in 75 countries worldwide while providing extensive recognition and acclaim.

Montes酒莊的老闆之一,同時也是首席釀酒師的Aurelio Montes非常有才華,天生就是當釀酒師的料,他在學生時代,便想證明位於Colchagua區的Apalta Valley是智利生產紅酒最好的地方;這個地區是丘陵與斜坡,土壤貧瘠,表層是厚厚的砂礫,平均坡度15度,最陡甚至可達45度,不過Aurelio Montes認為這裡西邊靠近海洋,東邊是山脈,日間溫暖可供葡萄成熟,夜間涼爽讓質地更為細緻,提供了完美的成長環境。

 

累積了釀造頂級酒25年的經驗之後,蒙帝斯酒莊才在2013年推出了超級旗艦酒「Taita 2007」,這款酒源自於Aurelio Montes長期對於Colchagua Valley土壤深入研究下所發現的一塊葡萄園,在百萬年前,這裡是冰河的終點,冰河沖刷之下形成了它獨一無二的土質。在此,Aurelio釀出了這款寬宏穩重,卓越優雅的精品。

 

在智利的家庭,Taita是一個對父親摯愛的稱呼,一個仁慈、博學、摯愛的家族長者的象徵,一個年輕人的明燈,一個天賦智慧的人。將這款酒取名為Taita,充分反應了Montes酒莊創辦人對於雕琢出智利最具代表性的旗鑑酒的靈感與期許。 

 

Aurelio Montes說,『Taita是Montes酒莊一直以來想要完成的夢想』,為酒莊25年釀酒經驗與夢想的結晶,年產量僅3000瓶、且僅在好年份才生產,在法國橡木桶陳年24個月後、又在瓶中熟成4年、這款2007年的Taita首度上市時,香氣已經驚豔不已,優雅的藍莓、黑莓、摩卡咖啡和松露香氣,入口後的苦巧克力、西洋衫味爆發、酒體平衡而飽滿、尾韻又長又迷人複雜。WA給予93高分,形容『酒體均衡』且『果酸清新』,『尾韻走舊世界風格』!

 

 

Wine Advocate:93 points

Several years ago, viticulturalist Pedro Parra discovered a glacier that must have melted on the coast, giving a soil profile of soft granite and clay. Here Montes planted Cabernet Sauvignon and this forms 90% of the blend of the 2007 Montes Taita, augmented by 5% Syrah and 5% Carmenere, raised in new oak for 18 to 20 months and then aged in bottle. The nose is understated at first, unveiling red berry fruits laced with gypsum, forest floor and thyme. The new oak is nicely folded into the fruit profile. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. It is well balanced with crisp acidity, while the finish nods towards the Old World with cedar and a touch of black pepper. With 1,000 six-packs due to be released next year, the Taita will be well worth seeking. Drink 2014-2025.
