《 #HOCWines 帶你遊世界!第三站:智利 》


疫情持續了一年,我們已經有一段頗長的時間沒得出外旅遊。踏入四月,正值春天,不如讓HOC Wines帶你出走一趟到智利。一直以來,智利酒以性價比打出市場,出產的酒各有特色。由之前流行的濃郁肥碩的Cabernet Sauvignon、到清爽的Sauvignon Blanc其實都出自智利。

位於南美洲、地形狹長的智利,東側是高聳的安地斯山脈,西側是海岸山脈,而中間的谷區一直以來都是出產葡萄酒的溫暖寶地。智利現在把葡萄酒風格清楚分成三塊,分別為岸區(太平洋沿岸)、谷區(兩座山脈之間)、山區(安地斯山與山腳)。

智利受到海岸冷風影響的區域都屬於「岸區」,溫度相對低冷,適合種植Sauvignon Blanc、Pinot Noir、和以往我們提到的Chardonnay等葡萄。「山區」安地斯山高四五千公尺,日夜溫差大,可以生產強勁中仍帶酸度的酒款。夾在中間的「谷區」環境相對溫暖,生產飽滿豐厚的紅酒,是大部分智利酒的生產地。

接下來為你介紹位於谷區Millahue的酒莊VIK,絕對是智利葡萄酒典範之一。Millahue在西班牙語解作「黃金之地」,VIK自2004年開始在這裡出品優質葡萄酒,於2019年榮獲1979年創辦的美國雜誌Wine Enthusiast頒發的Wine Star Award。酒莊也把酒店概念結合為一。特別的活動包括由酒店導遊帶領,遊客可以騎著馬沿着小徑欣賞葡萄園及安第斯山脈的美景,還有酒莊特地保護的生物多樣性。另外,遊客亦可以在這裡一試葡萄酒水療美容,享受天然並全面滋養的紅酒浴。

最具影響力世界級酒評家之一的James Suckling於上一年發佈的《2020年智利葡萄酒Top 100榜》(Top 100 Wines of Chile 2020) ,VIK主打的3款紅葡萄酒都於榜單上都佔據排名:
