Free for all 白葡萄酒-是继续陈年还是现在喝掉? Published in English on 6 February 2021. 翻译:李晨光团队 上周我写了关于《现下适饮的红葡萄酒年份》一文。本周主题是哪些白葡萄酒值得陈年。本文简短版本发表于英国《金融时报》。 在众多的酒窖或私人收藏中,白葡萄酒的数量往往远少于红葡萄酒——不过德国是个例外,因为该国的白葡萄酒产量要高于红葡萄酒,而且其白葡萄酒的陈年能力一贯表现优异。 雷司令(Riesling)是德国的标志性葡萄品种,根据我的经验,它酿造的葡萄酒几乎是“长生不老”的。在保持适度低温的情况下,开瓶的雷司令能保质数周,而未开瓶的则可以在瓶中持续发展几十年。现阶段我正愉悦地享用着来自上世纪80年代和90年代的酒。随着时间的推移,它们的口感往往会变的越来越干,比如晚收级别(Spätlese)葡萄酒的天然糖分在年轻时似乎非常明显,但在瓶中陈年十年二十年之后,蜕变得干到甚至可以充当开胃酒。同时,葡萄酒风味的细微差别以及对葡萄园风土水晶般透彻的表达也越来越鲜明。也许是起泡酒的一个低酒精度替代品?来看一下我们德国专家米歇尔·施密特(Michel Schmidt's)的推荐——《现下适饮的德国葡萄酒年份》。... 6 Feb 2021 Jancis Robinson
