Tasting note
品飲筆記:先是烤麵包、奶油酥皮與夏威夷果的香氣,接著出現青蘋果、白桃和明亮的檸檬、葡萄柚調性。口感帶有柔順的奶油感與暖橡木痕跡,但酸度鮮活,層次分明,收尾綿長帶點鹹礦感。
酒莊與釀造:這款由 Gran Moraine 出品的 2016 年份,瓶中風采來自約十五個月的法國橡木與不鏽鋼混合陳釀,讓結構與新鮮度取得平衡,形成細緻又耐藏的表現。
葡萄園與環境:來自 Yamhill‑Carlton 的涼爽產區,葡萄園地勢與排水良好的土壤幫助保留酸度與風味濃縮。低產量與日夜溫差大,使果實保持清晰的果香與緊緻口感。
建議飲用方式:降溫後飲用更佳,開瓶後靜置約 20–40 分鐘風味會更開放。搭配菌菇前菜、帶香料的雞肉或烤豬肉都很合拍,口感與料理能互相提升。
Tasting note: Bright, focused aromatics of toasty brioche and macadamia lead into crisp Pink Lady apple, white peach and yellow-citrus notes. The palate balances a gently creamy, oak-tinged texture with vibrant acidity and layered stone-fruit flavours, finishing long and saline-tinged.
Producer & winemaking: Bottled by Gran Moraine Winery, this 2016 spent fifteen months in a mix of French oak and stainless steel, a regime that builds complexity without losing freshness. The result is a poised, age-worthy white with measured oak influence and lively acid backbone.
Vineyard notes: Sourced from cool-climate sites in the Yamhill‑Carlton area — vineyards with well-drained soils and moderate yields that preserve brightness and varietal intensity. Cooler growing conditions and diurnal swing help maintain lively acidity and concentrated flavor.
Serving: Serve gently chilled and allow about 20–40 minutes after opening to unfurl. Excellent with mushroom-forward starters, richer poultry with spices, or roasted pork.
