蛻變中的西班牙 – The Bodega Artadi Pagos Viejos 2007 & 2008 歷史傳說 –「所喝過最龐大最有力量的 Rioja」
Juan Carlos López de Lacalle 的 Artadi風格,如同他本人的氣度,優雅嚴謹卻又親切溫暖。
Bodega Artadi是 Rioja產區裡的頂尖王牌酒莊之ㄧ,地理條件具有令人驚喜的條件,葡萄種植於凉爽的高海拔地區,釀出非常值得關注的葡萄酒。雖然酒廠的歷史只有短短的二十幾年,但是莊主 Juan Carlos 一心一意只以釀造最高品質的酒為目標。採取果實較少的老樹,經過較長時間和高溫去萃取果皮內的單寧、香氣和色素等,更在橡木桶內作長時間陳釀,成釀出來的酒體飽滿厚實有力,甚至被 Parker評 為「所喝過最龐大最有力量的 Rioja」。
風土正是是讓這些葡萄酒們在風味上有所差異的原因!Artadi 因為強調單ㄧ葡萄田的概念,每款酒都是統一由一個區塊的葡萄所釀造的,而每個田因為日照時間(白天日照叫和煦、下午日照炙熱)不同,向陽方位,土壤類別的不同等,所結成的葡萄就有著不同的酸度與糖分,因此造成每款酒在風味的表現有著顯著的差異,風土是莊主Juan Carlos想要呈現的葡萄酒的原貌。
莊主 Juan Carlos 心目中最得意的作品除了 Grandes Añadas & Viña El Pison 之外,最理想的就是 Pagos Viejos ! 他非常專心關注於 Pagos Viejos 所有釀造技術和方式, Pagos Viejos 採用來自樹齡 80多歲的 Tempranillo老藤葡萄,以傳統的木桶發酵法釀造,酒味豐富濃郁,2007年和 2008年同時獲得 Robert Parker 95分。
引用林裕森老師著作《西班牙葡萄酒》:「現在 Artad i紅酒的酒風相當嚴謹密實,頗多層次變化,以頗靈巧的方式將酸、澀和水果均衡地串聯起來。用很現代的方式表現了 ”Alavesa 阿拉維沙 ”紅酒的優雅。」
