Tasting note

品飲筆記：2024 史密夫拉菲二牌桃紅呈淡桃紅色，前調有野草莓、覆盆子與檸檬皮的清新果香，並帶點白花與海風般的礦感。口感清脆活潑，明顯的酸度推動紅果與柑橘風味，餘韻乾淨帶點鹹礦味，十分討喜。 酒莊與田地：由家族經營的史密夫拉菲以細緻的葡萄栽培聞名，這款二牌桃紅取自排水良好的卵礫與砂質田地，受大西洋氣候調節，產量管控與精細的背篩選果確保果實成熟度與風味純淨。 釀造手法：早採以保留清新酸度，採用柔和壓榨與低溫發酵，短時間浸皮或放血工藝以萃取淡雅色澤與香氣，並在不顯著使用新橡木的情況下於不鏽鋼或中性容器中短期熟成，保留明亮果味與細緻口感。整體風格輕鬆自然，適合即飲且百搭餐桌。

Tasting note: Pale salmon in the glass, Les Hauts de Smith Rosé 2024 opens with a fragrant bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry and citrus zest, lifted by white floral and subtle saline notes. On the palate it is bright and focused — crisp acidity drives flavors of red fruit, citrus peel and a touch of stone fruit, finishing clean with a lingering mineral-saline thread. Producer notes: From the Cathiard family's respected estate, this second-label rosé reflects the same attention to detail as the domaine's top wines: low yields, meticulous sorting and a focus on site expression. The result is a refined, food-friendly rosé that balances freshness and poise. Winemaking notes: Grapes are harvested early for freshness, handled with gentle extraction and cool fermentation to preserve aromatic clarity. Short skin contact and a combination of stainless-steel tanks and neutral vessels for ageing produce a wine with bright fruit, silky texture and restrained oak influence. A light lees contact adds subtle weight and mouthfeel without masking the wine's energetic acidity. Vineyard notes: Fruit comes from well-drained gravelly soils typical of the region, with Atlantic influence moderating summer heat. Sustainable viticultural practices and careful canopy management ensure ripe phenolic balance and vibrant aromatics, giving the rosé its distinct minerality and saline lift.
