Tasting note
品嚐筆記:先是明亮的檸檬皮與白肉梨、白桃香氣,入口柔滑帶有奶油感,尾段有微妙的烤杏仁與香草橡木香,礦物感清晰,酸度俐落,整體平衡且餘韻溫和延展。 酒莊風貌:長和翡翠以小批量、重視果實品質聞名,採低產量栽培與細緻的葉面管理,目標是保留果香同時維持自然酸度與風土特徵。 釀造手法:人工採收並經部分桶內發酵、瓶前於細層澱粉上陳放以增加結構與奶油感。新桶用量克制,適度乳酸發酵讓口感更為圓潤,但仍保有清爽的酸度與礦質輪廓。 葡萄園環境:葡萄園生長於排水良好、含火山礦物的石質土壤,晝夜溫差幫助保存香氣與酸度,產量控制嚴格,果粒成熟集中,呈現獨特的礦物與層次感。這款酒喝起來貼近土地,口感舒服,適合慢慢品味。
Tasting note: Bright, inviting aromatics of lemon zest, ripe pear and white stone fruit lead into a creamy mid-palate layered with gentle vanilla and toasted almond from subtle oak ageing. A fine mineral thread — a nod to the ‘lava’ terroir — keeps the palate focused, delivering a medium-plus body with a polished, lingering finish. Producer notes: Bottled under the Fei Tswei label, this is a boutique release that celebrates vineyard character. The producer focuses on low-yield farming and careful canopy management to ensure ripe fruit with balanced acidity. Winemaking notes: Hand-harvested fruit was partially barrel-fermented and aged on fine lees to build texture. Winemaking employed a restrained use of new oak and a touch of malolactic conversion to contribute creaminess without masking freshness. The result is a dry white with integrated oak and lively minerality. Vineyard notes: Planted on stony, well-drained soils with volcanic influence, the vineyards benefit from cool nights that preserve aromatic lift and acidity. Low yields and meticulous sorting yield concentrated flavors and a distinct mineral backbone.
