Tasting note

這款2023年達歐產區白酒散發誘人的柑橘與花香：青檸葉、葡萄柚皮、檸檬卡士達和橙花氣息先入鼻。入口中段質地偏順滑帶一點奶油感，但酸度清晰有彈性，讓整體保持緊緻不膩。柑橘與白桃的果味結合烤餅乾般的橡木香，再加上一絲礦物感，口感豐富卻不失優雅。生產上酒莊以山地葡萄園為主，日夜溫差大、排水良好，採用法國橡木桶陳年與部分乳酸發酵或延長酵母接觸來換取細緻的質地。建議醒酒半小時左右，適合搭配菇類、帶香料的東南亞料理或奶油義大利麵，輕鬆又耐喝。

A polished 2023 from Paso Robles with an inviting aromatic profile — kaffir lime, grapefruit rind, lemon curd and orange blossom lead the way. The palate is refined and focused: medium-bodied, bright acidity and a silky, slightly creamy mouthfeel framed by subtle French oak and graham-cracker notes. Mineral undertones—think river stones—add tension and lift, keeping the wine balanced and food-friendly. Winemaking favors gentle extraction, barrel aging in French oak and a measured use of fermentation techniques to preserve freshness while adding texture. Drink now through the near-medium term to enjoy its vibrancy, or let it evolve gently in bottle.

Winery

達歐酒莊（DAOU Vineyards & Winery）由 Georges 與 Daniel Daou 家族經營，酒莊位於帕蘇羅布爾斯山區的較高海拔園地。那裡日夜溫差大、通風佳，土壤排水良好，適合種出風味集中但保有清新的果實。釀酒師在田間管理與桶陳上都很講究，採取選果入桶、控制發酵與在法國橡木中適度熟成，目的是保留果香同時帶來結構與細緻口感。

DAOU Vineyards & Winery is a family-owned estate founded and led by Georges and Daniel Daou. Perched on higher-elevation sites in Paso Robles, the estate emphasizes mountain-grown fruit, cool night breezes and carefully managed canopy to produce concentrated yet balanced wines. Winemaker Daniel Daou focuses on blending tradition with precision viticulture and selective French oak maturation to craft expressive, age-worthy bottlings.
