[France] "Wine in a can"



Last month in HK, I found this wine which is packed in small aluminum can with 187ml. It names Winestar, their concept is let people to enjoy wine in a convenient way for different occasion. This small can of wine distinguished by Red, White and Rosé, very suitable for lunch, picnic or for people can't hold liquor very well. The price is around $23~27 HKD, not expensive, we can stock dozen cans for daily drink.

My Taste Note:

Red (AOC Corbières): It blends with 40% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre and 20% Grenache noir. The color shows beautiful garnet red. It has strong black fruits, black pepper and different type of spices aromas come out slowly. The palate has medium body with very fresh acid and light tannins. In the mouth has full of black fruits and spices flavors.

White (AOC Corbières): It blends with 55% Malvoisie, 25% Rolle Vermentino and 20% Grenache blanc. The color shows pale yellow. The major aroma is pineapple and the rest are grapefruit and lemon, fresh style. On the palate is light body, soft acid, very easy to finish.

Rosé (AOC Languedoc): It blends with 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache Noir. The color shows orange and pink. I can only feel strawberry aroma. The palate has medium body and can find strawberry and candy flavors. Overall, this rosé is fine but after taste has little bitterness.

Overall, all 3 style of Winestar can provide pleasant aromas and taste. For myself, I like red and rosé because the palate is richer than white and the taste has more layer.  For this low price wine can be provided such a quality is worth to try out.              




上個月我在香港發現到一款葡萄酒是裝在一個小型鋁罐,容量是187ml.這款罐裝酒叫做Winestar,他們的概念是讓人可以在不同場合上方便一些來品嚐葡萄酒.這款小罐裝葡萄酒分為紅酒,白酒和粉紅酒,非常適合食下午飯和野餐的時候飲用或一些酒量比較差的人飲用.價錢每大約 $23~27 HKD比較便宜,可以買多一些方在屋裡慢慢飲.

我的品酒筆記:

紅酒(AOC Corbières) 這款紅酒是混合了40% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre a20% Grenache noir. 它的顏色帶有漂亮的石榴紅.香氣有強烈的黑色水果,黑胡椒和不同的香料慢慢出來.口感是中等酒體,酸味比較鮮明和輕輕的單寧.在口裡有豐富的黑色水果和香料味道.

白酒(AOC Corbières): 這款白酒混合了55% Malvoisie, 25% Rolle Vermentino20% Grenache blanc.它的顏色帶有淡黃色.香氣帶有主要是菠,有多一些柚子和檸檬,清爽型白酒.口感是輕酒體,輕巧的酸度,我覺得這款比較輕鬆.  

粉紅酒 (AOC Languedoc): 這款粉紅酒混合了 80% Syrah20% Grenache Noir.它顏色帶有粉紅.我感覺到它有士多啤利香氣.口感是中等酒體和可以找到士多啤利和一些類似糖果味道.整體是不錯,只是after taste有少少苦味.

整體3款酒都提供到優美和宜人酒香和味道.我本人比較喜歡紅酒和粉紅酒,因為這兩款的口感比白酒較醇厚和味道上更有層次.對於這種廉價葡萄酒可以提供到這種質素,是很直得去嚐.

[France] Exaggerated Rosé Wine






Exaggerated Rosé Wine

Chateau Miraval 2013 (Côtes de Provence)

The bottle of Chateau Miraval Rosé is quite exaggerated, it has a long neck and a round body. Before drinking, the bottle is transparent, with pink and orange wine inside. It is so elegantly designed that it can be an ornament in living room. Chateau Miraval is owned by Perrin Family and Hollywood celebrities couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, which makes it even more extravagant. The wine name is Jolie-Pitt & Perrin!! They have released their first vintage in 2012.

This Rosé wine is a blend of red grapes Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah and white grape Rolle (aka Vermentino). After harvest, it will be passed to destemming. Syrah is vinified by saignée method and the other grapes are directly pressed. Then, 95% of the wine vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and around 5% was fermented in oak barrels to give the wine richness and complexity.

My taste note: In the glass the wine has light pink and orange color. For aromas, it shows floral, strong red fruit such as cherry and straw

berry. The body is light to medium body and dry with crisp acidity. The palate is focused on fruits and the finish shows Syrah's richness, complex. It is structured and elegant.

The wine magazines have high scores for this Rosé Wine and high opinion, such as: Decanter: 91/100 (Highly recommended), Wine Spectator 89/100, Wine Advocate 
90/100, etc. 
  
                                                        Beautiful Label  

太浮誇 Rosé!!!

Chateau Miraval Rosé的酒瓶就好像陳奕迅在廣告上說 : 太浮誇. 這個瓶是由長長的瓶頸和圓圓的瓶身形成. 透明瓶盛著粉紅色的酒. 開瓶之前, 它可以成為客廳內的一件裝飾品. Chateau Miraval是由Perrin家族和荷里活情侶Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie共同擁有. 整件事感覺更浮誇!! 這款酒的名稱是Jolie-Pitt & Perrin. 2012年是他們第一年推出這款酒.



這款粉紅酒由三款紅葡萄Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah 和一款白葡萄Rolle (又名Vermentino)製成. 採摘之後, 葡萄經過去除梗後。所有葡萄都會直接壓榨,  只有希拉(Syrah)會經過出(saignée)方式來壓榨. 之後有95%酒是用有溫度控制的不銹鋼桶來釀做. 剩餘的5%會用木桶來發酵, 這樣可讓葡萄酒豐富和複雜一點.

我的品酒筆記:在酒杯內顯示淺粉紅色和橙色。香氣有花香, 強烈紅色水果, 例如車厘子和草莓. 酒身是薄至中等, 乾口味, 爽的酸. 口感是集中在水果上,最後有一些希拉(Syrah)的回味, 比較複雜. 我感覺這款酒有好的結構和優雅.

這款粉紅酒在一些紅酒雜誌上都有好評和高分數, 例如: Decanter: 91/100, Wine Spectator 89/100, Wine Advocate 90/100, 等等.
