Tasting note

外觀呈現迷人的琥珀銅色，第一眼就知道是以皮接觸釀造的作品。香氣有橘皮、風乾杏桃與蜂蜜的溫暖果香，伴隨白茶和淡淡香料氣息。口感紮實而有層次：皮接觸帶來的細緻單寧與明亮酸度交織，使酒體既有張力又不失圓潤，收尾帶些鹹感與堅果風味，回味悠長。酒莊說明：瓦利酒莊以小量、手工的方式釀製，偏好低干預以突顯原始風土與口感質地。釀造手法強調溫和萃取與延長皮接觸，保留果香的同時塑造結構感。葡萄園來自紐西蘭經過嚴選的地塊，土壤排水良好、利於果實成熟但保留清爽酸度。建議稍微醒酒或少許降溫後享用，能更顯香氣與口感細節。

Appearance: a luminous amber–copper hue that announces skin-contact winemaking. Nose: bright orange peel, dried apricot, honeyed orchard fruit, a hint of white tea and gentle spice. Palate: textured and generous with a gripping yet polished tannic structure, lively citrus acidity and savory, nutty undertones that carry through to a sustained, saline-tinged finish. Producer notes: crafted by Valli Wines as part of their small-batch, expressive range, this bottling showcases a hands-off, artisanal approach aimed at purity and texture. Winemaking: whole-bunch/skin contact fermentation gives the wine its colour and tannic frame; fermentation and maturation focused on preserving aromatics—minimal intervention, gentle extraction and careful use of sulphur. Vineyard: fruit is sourced from selected sites in New Zealand chosen for balanced ripeness and good drainage; cooler maritime influences help retain bright acidity while allowing phenolic ripeness. Serve slightly chilled or decanted to open up aromatics. A versatile match for richer poultry, smoky seafood and umami-driven cuisine.
