2022 Blindfold Blanc de Noir

品飲筆記：杯中呈淡稻草色，先是清新的柑橘皮香，接著帶出白色果實與一抹紅果花香。口感乾爽清爽，酸度明亮，酒體不重，卻有絲滑的中段質地，尾韻乾淨帶礦感。酒莊與釀造：蒙眼酒莊由Jack與Kathy Pagendarm持有，這款白中黑以輕柔壓榨保留果香為主，不刻意萃取顏色，低溫發酵保全香氣，短期與澱粉接觸增添圓潤感，僅用極少新橡木以免搶走果味。葡萄園：選自加州較涼爽的園區，排水良好、受海風影響，早採保持活潑酸度與清新風味。飲用建議：冰鎮後風味最佳，若想讓香氣更張開可短暫醒酒，適合搭配海鮮、壽司或清淡家常菜。語氣輕鬆、親切，適合日常分享的餐酒選擇。

Tasting note: Pale-straw in the glass with a fragrant nose of citrus peel, white stone fruit and a hint of red-berry perfume. The palate is crisp and dry, bright with refreshing acidity and a silky, slightly rounded texture that carries citrus, orchard fruit and a subtle mineral thread to a clean finish. Producer notes: From The Prisoner Wine Company, owned by Jack and Kathy Pagendarm, the 'Blindfold' Blanc de Noir is crafted to showcase an elegant, white style made from red-skinned fruit. Winemaking notes: Grapes are gently whole-cluster pressed to limit color extraction, fermented in cool temperatures to preserve aromatics and kept on fine lees for a short period to build mid-palate texture. Minimal new oak preserves freshness while a touch of lees aging adds creaminess. Vineyard notes: Sourced from selected cooler California vineyard sites with well-drained soils and maritime influence, the fruit is picked early to retain bright acidity and delicate aromatics. Serve well-chilled; decant briefly if you prefer the aromatics to open. Ideal as a food-friendly, approachable white with subtle complexity.
