Iwayini elinesimo sengqondo, ngenxa ye-Andean Altitude

Ngokumangalisayo, ngokuvamile awanakwanga kakhulu ohlwini olubalulekile lwabalimi bewayini uma kuqhathaniswa nezici ezinjenge-terroir, isimo sezulu, kanye nemvula. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yethonya lokufudumala kwembulunga yonke, abenzi bewayini manje babeka ukubaluleka emagqumeni nasezintabeni lapho behlola izindawo ezingase zibe yizivini zokutshala imivini.

Intaba Ephakeme

The Andes Cordillera, evame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-Andes, iwukhahlamba lwezintaba olugudla lonke ugu olusentshonalanga yeNingizimu Melika. Idlulela ngamakhilomitha angaphezu kuka-4,000 XNUMX, isuka eColombia enyakatho, idlule e-Ecuador, ePeru, eBolivia, nase-Argentina, ize iyofika eTierra del Fuego, indawo eseningizimu yezwekazi. Lolu chungechunge lwezintaba alulona nje olude kakhulu emhlabeni kodwa futhi luphakeme kakhulu ngaphandle kwezintaba zase-Himalaya, okulwenza lube isici esivelele sokuma kwezwe kule ndawo.

I-Andes Cordillera inethonya elikhulu kuyo iwayini ukukhiqizwa eNingizimu Melika, ikakhulukazi emazweni afana ne-Argentina neChile. Nansi indlela i-Andes Cordillera newayini ezixhunywe ngayo:

1. Ukuphakama: Izintaba zase-Andes zinikeza ububanzi bokuphakama, ukusuka olwandle ukuya ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-6,900 (cishe amafidi angu-22,637). Lokhu kuhlukahluka okukhulu kokuphakama kwakha ama-microclimate ahlukahlukene alungele ukutshalwa kwamagilebhisi. Ikakhulukazi, ukuphakama okuphezulu kuya ngokuya kuthandwa kakhulu ezivinini ngoba zinikeza amazinga okushisa apholile, okusiza ukugcina i-acidity emagilebhisini futhi kubambezele inqubo yokuvuthwa. Lokhu kuholela ekukhiqizweni kwamawayini ekhwalithi ephezulu ane-acidity elinganayo.

2. Isimo sezulu: Ama-Andes asebenza njengesithiyo semvelo enkambisweni yesimo sezulu, esiza ekudaleni izimo zezulu eziyingqayizivele ezindaweni zewayini ezitholakala eduze kwamagquma azo. Izintaba zinesandla ekulawuleni izinga lokushisa, zinikeza ubusuku obupholile namazinga okushisa apholile emini, awusizo ekuvuthweni kwamagilebhisi. Lokhu kulinganisa kwesimo sezulu kubangela amawayini anokulinganisela okungcono kanye nobunkimbinkimbi.

3. Umthombo wamanzi: Izintaba zase-Andes ziwumthombo obalulekile wamanzi ahlanzekile ezigidini zabantu eNingizimu Melika. Embonini yewayini, lokhu kusho ukuthi ukutholakala kwamanzi okunisela kutholakala kalula, ngisho nasezifundeni eziwugwadule neziwugwadule. Lokhu kubalulekile ekusimameni kwezivini, njengoba amanzi abalulekile ekukhuleni komvini kanye nekhwalithi yamagilebhisi.

4. I-Terror: Inhlabathi ehlukahlukene kanye nokuphakama kwesifunda sase-Andes kunomthelela kumqondo we-terroir, ohlanganisa izici zemvelo eziyingqayizivele ezithonya izici zewayini. Izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zenhlabathi yase-Andes, okuhlanganisa i-alluvial, isihlabathi, ubumba, amatshe amatshe, ne-limestone, zinendima ekulolongeni ukunambitheka nekhwalithi yamagilebhisi, ngenxa yalokho, namawayini.

5. Ikhwalithi Yewayini: Inhlanganisela yezivini eziphakeme kakhulu, i-microclimates ehlukahlukene, kanye ne-terroirs eyingqayizivele yenza i-Andes Cordillera ibe indawo eyinhloko yokukhiqiza iwayini eliphezulu. Kokubili i-Argentina ne-Chile bahlangabezane nokwanda kwezinga nokuqashelwa kwewayini labo, ngenxa yezivini zabo ezitholakala emthunzini we-Andes.

Ngombono wami

Emcimbini wakamuva we-White Wines of the Andes e-New York City, oqondiswa u-Joaquin Hidalgo, ngithole amawayini alandelayo ethakazelisa kakhulu:

1. 2021 Chardonnay Amelia, Concha y Toro. eNyakatho Chile

Uhlobo lwe-Amelia lwaqala ngo-1993 njengendlela yokuhlonipha bonke abesifazane abaye badlula imingcele (cabanga ngo-Amelia Earhart noJane Goodall), futhi baqanjwa ngegama likankosikazi kaMarcel Papa, u-Amelia. Leli wayini yi-Chardonnay yokuqala yase-Chile ye-Ultra-Premium Chardonnay.

I-Quebrada Seca Vineyard itholakala kumakhilomitha angama-22 ukusuka ePacific Ocean ogwini olusenyakatho yoMfula iLimari. Isivini sakhiwe endaweni ephakeme ngamamitha angu-190 ngaphezu kwezinga lolwandle nenhlabathi yobumba ecebile nge-calcium carbonate. Amazinga okushisa ayabanda futhi ekuseni kunamafu, okuvumela isithelo ukuthi sivuthwe kancane sikhiqiza iwayini elisha.

Amagilebhisi avunwa ngesandla futhi amagilebhisi akhethwa ebhandeni lokuhambisa elithatha amaqoqo aphelele liwayise emshinini ngaphandle kokuwadelela. Ukuvutshelwa kwenzeka emiphongolweni ye-oki yesiFulentshi futhi ukuvutshelwa kotshwala kuthatha izinsuku eziyi-8. Iwayini lidala izinyanga eziyi-12 emiphongolweni ye-oki yesiFulentshi (amaphesenti angu-10 amasha namaphesenti angu-90 ukusetshenziswa kwesibili). Okusetshenziswe kahle kakhulu phakathi neminyaka engu-8 elandelayo.

amanothi

Okuphuzi okuhlanzekile nokukhanyayo okukhanyayo emehlweni ukubukeka okucwebezelayo kuphikisana nezimbali zayo eziyinkimbinkimbi nezinezendlalelo eziningi. Iyinkimbinkimbi futhi yendlalwe emakhaleni ngamaphunga ezimbali ezimhlophe, amapheya, namaminerali futhi ihlanganisa isakhiwo sobumba olubomvu (ihlinzeka ngomzimba) ne-minerality yenhlabathi ye-limestone (ihlinzeka ngomgogodla). Kude, kushubile, futhi kuyaqabula okunombono omude olwangeni kanye nesiphetho eside esigqanyiswe ngosawoti othokozisayo.

2. 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Talinay, Tabali

I-Talinay Sauvignon Blanc yango-2022 ebukhali futhi eqinile imhlophe ngokumangalisayo evela e-Chile. Ihlala ifakwe emabhodleleni ukuze igcine ukuhlanzeka kwe-varietal kanye nomthelela wenhlabathi ye-limestone kanye nokuba seduze nolwandle. Inotshwala obungu-13% namapharamitha angakholeki—i-pH engu-2.96 no-8.38 amagremu we-asidi. Amawayini akhiqizwa emivinini eyatshalwa ngo-2006 e-Talinay lapho inhlabathi ine-limestone eningi futhi nomthelela wolwandle unamandla.

amanothi

Licwebe ngokukhazimulayo futhi lishintshashintsha ngokubukeka, iwayini likhipha iphunga elizwakala lipholile futhi livuselela njengomoya wasentwasahlobo. Ikhala lijatshuliswa iphunga lotshani obuluhlaza obuluhlaza, amadwala amanzi, nephunga elimnandi lomhlaba. Ulwanga luthola amanothi aluhlaza okotshani ahlanganiswe namacebo acashile esithelo esisawolintshi athuthukiswa icebiso elithambile likasawoti wasolwandle, okudala i-seary tapestry ekhangayo.

Uhambo lwewayini luthuthukiswa yi-asidi ephilayo, efaka ulwanga lonke ngokusha okuvuselelayo. Kuwo wonke ama-sp, ama-taste buds ayavuseleleka futhi lokhu kuzwa okuqabulayo kuhlala isikhathi eside ngemva kokwehla kokugcina.
