【阮公子品酒乾坤】秋季酒色迷人
【大紀元2016年10月17日訊】溫哥華的秋天是美麗的 ——不同紅黃色澤的葉子只不過是其中的景緻,北岸的雪嶺和清晨的靄霧帶來水墨畫的意境,同樣的可愛。BC省的秋日別有韻味,意味著酒莊葡萄園揭起酒季的新一頁。酒業中人,對秋天的來臨特別在意,因為這是繁忙緊湊的一季!
對酒迷而言,秋季是等待一年後的特別日子,因為大部分的酒莊會在這個時節,推出展售去年或更久年份的紅酒(白酒和汽泡酒通常在春季試酒會中推出)。這便是BC VQA 旗下的酒莊酒園每年一度的「Colours」試酒活動。
根據年份報告,2015是優越的一年。較平均氣溫和暖,提早了萌芽期。整個夏季陽光充沛,氣候炎熱,果子健壯地成長,氣質味韻丹寧都孕育適當。
