Iwayini enesimo sengqondo, enkosi kwiAndean Altitude

Okumangalisayo kukuba, ngokufuthi abathathelwa ingqalelo kangako kuludwe lwabavelisi bewayini xa bethelekiswa nezinto ezifana ne-terroir, imozulu nemvula. Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yempembelelo yokufudumala kwehlabathi, abavelisi bewayini ngoku babeka ukubaluleka kwiinduli kunye neentaba xa bevavanya iindawo ezinokubakho zemidiliya yokutyala imidiliya.

Phezulu kweNtaba

The Andes Cordillera, edla ngokubizwa ngokuba ziiAndes, ludederhu lweentaba ezigudla unxweme olusentshona loMzantsi Merika. Inabela ngaphezu kweekhilomitha ezingama-4,000, ukusuka eKholombiya emantla, ukutyhubela i-Ecuador, iPeru, iBolivia, neArgentina, ukuya kutsho eTierra del Fuego, eyona ncam isemazantsi elizwekazi. Olu dederhu lweentaba alupheleli nje ngokuba lude ehlabathini kodwa lukwangoyena uphakamileyo ngaphandle kweeHimalaya, nto leyo eyenza ukuba lube yeyona ndawo ibalaseleyo kulo mmandla.

I-Andes Cordillera inempembelelo ebalulekileyo kwi isiselo somdiliya imveliso eMzantsi Melika, ngakumbi kumazwe afana neArgentina neChile. Nantsi indlela iAndes Cordillera kunye newayini ezidityaniswa ngayo:

1. Ukuphakama: Iintaba zeAndes zibonelela ngoluhlu lokuphakama, ukusuka kwinqanaba lolwandle ukuya ngaphezulu kwe-6,900 yeemitha (malunga neemitha ezingama-22,637). Lo mahluko mkhulu womphakamo udala ii-microclimates ezohlukeneyo ezilungele ukulinywa komdiliya. Ngokukodwa, ukuphakama okuphezulu kuya kuthandwa kakhulu kwizidiliya kuba zinika amaqondo obushushu apholileyo, anceda ukugcina iasidi kwidiliya kwaye icothise inkqubo yokuvuthwa. Oku kukhokelela ekuveliseni iwayini ezikumgangatho ophezulu ezineasidi elungeleleneyo.

2. Imozulu: IiAndes zisebenza njengomqobo wendalo kwimo yezulu, inceda ekudaleni iimeko zemozulu ezizodwa kwimimandla yewayini ebekwe ecaleni kweenduli zazo. Iintaba zinegalelo ekulawuleni amaqondo obushushu, zinika ubusuku obupholileyo kunye namaqondo apholileyo emini, aluncedo ekuvuthweni kweediliya. Oku kumodareyithwa kwemozulu kukhokelela kwiiwayini ezinokulinganisela kunye nokuntsonkotha okungcono.

3. Umthombo wamanzi: Iintaba zeAndes zingumthombo obalulekileyo wamanzi acocekileyo kwizigidi zabantu baseMzantsi Merika. Kwishishini lewayini, oku kuthetha ukuba ufikelelo kumanzi okunkcenkceshela lufumaneka lula, nakwimimandla eyinkqantosi nebharhileyo. Oku kubalulekile kulondolozo lwezidiliya, njengoko amanzi ebaluleke kakhulu ekukhuleni komdiliya kunye nomgangatho womdiliya.

4. I-Terror: Imihlaba eyahlukeneyo kunye nokuphakama kwingingqi yeAndes inegalelo kwingqikelelo yeterroir, equka izinto ezikhethekileyo zokusingqongileyo eziphembelela iimpawu zewayini. Iintlobo ezahlukahlukeneyo zomhlaba weeAndes, kuquka ialluvial, isanti, udongwe, igrabile, nelitye likalikalika, zinendima ekuxonxeni incasa nomgangatho weediliya, ngenxa yoko, newayini.

5. Umgangatho weWayini: Ukudityaniswa kwezidiliya ezikubude obuphezulu, imozulu epholileyo eyohlukeneyo, kunye neendawo ezinqabileyo ezingaqhelekanga zenza iAndes Cordillera ibe yeyona ndawo iphambili yokuvelisa iwayini ezikumgangatho ophezulu. Zombini iArgentina kunye neChile ziye zafumana ukunyuka kumgangatho kunye nokunakanwa kwewayini zabo, ngenxa yenxalenye yezidiliya zabo ezimi kumthunzi weAndes.

Kwiingcinga zam

Kumsitho wakutsha nje weWhite Wines weAndes kwisiXeko saseNew York, ukhokelwa nguJoaquin Hidalgo, ndifumene ezi wayini zilandelayo zinomdla kakhulu:

1. 2021 Chardonnay Amelia, Concha y Toro. Emantla eChile

I-brand ye-Amelia yaqala ngo-1993 njengembeko kubo bonke abafazi abaye batyhala imida (cinga u-Amelia Earhart kunye no-Jane Goodall), kwaye bathiywa ngegama lomenzi wewayini u-Marcel Papa's, Amelia. Le wayini yeyokuqala eChile yeUltra-Premium Chardonnay.

IQuebrada Seca Vineyard ikwiikhilomitha ezingama-22 ukusuka kuLwandlekazi lwePasifiki kunxweme olusemantla oMlambo iLimari. Intsimi yomdiliya iphuhliswe kumphakamo oyi 190 yeemitha ngaphezu komphakamo wolwandle kunye nomhlaba wodongwe otyebileyo kwi calcium carbonate. Amaqondo obushushu ayabanda kwaye kusasa kuyasibekela, nto leyo evumela ukuba isiqhamo sivuthwe kancinane sivelisa iwayini ezintsha.

Iidiliya zivunwa ngesandla kwaye iidiliya zikhethwa kwibhanti lokuhambisa elithatha amaqoqo apheleleyo ukuya kwisixovulelo ngaphandle kokugatywa. Ukuvutshelwa kwenzeka kwimibhobho ye-oki yaseFransi kwaye ukuvutshelwa kotywala kuthatha iintsuku ezi-8. Iwayini iguge kangangeenyanga ezili-12 kwimiphanda ye-oki yaseFransi (i-10 ekhulwini entsha kunye ne-90 yepesenti yokusetyenziswa okwesibini). Okona kusetyenziswe kule minyaka isi-8 izayo.

amaNqaku

Ukucoceka kunye nokukhanya okukhanyayo okutyheli kwiso imbonakalo yekristale iphikisana ne-bouquet yayo eyinkimbinkimbi kunye ne-multi-layered bouquet. Iyinkimbinkimbi kwaye ifakwe empumlweni ngamavumba eentyantyambo ezimhlophe, amapere, kunye neminerali kwaye idibanisa isakhiwo sodongwe olubomvu (ubonelela ngomzimba) kunye ne-minerality yomhlaba we-limestone (ubonelela ngomqolo). Inde, ixinene, kwaye iyahlaziya ngophawu olude lwenkalakahla kunye nesiphelo eside esiphawulwe ngetyuwa eyolisayo.

2. 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Talinay, Tabali

Ibukhali kwaye ibukhali 2022 Talinay Sauvignon Blanc ngumhlophe omangalisayo osuka eChile. Ihlala ibhotile ingafakwanga ukugcina ubunyulu be-varietal kunye nefuthe lemihlaba ye-limestone kunye nokusondela kolwandle. Ine-13% yotywala kunye neeparitha ezimangalisayo-i-pH ye-2.96 kunye ne-8.38 grams ye-asidi. Iwayini ziveliswa kwimidiliya eyatyalwa ngomnyaka ka 2006 eTalinay apho umhlaba unelimestone eninzi kwaye impembelelo yolwandle inamandla.

amaNqaku

Icace ngokugqwesileyo kwaye iguquguquke ngenkangeleko, iwayini ikhupha ivumba elimnandi elivakala ngathi lipholile kwaye lihlaziya njengempepho yasentwasahlobo. Impumlo iyavuyiswa livumba lengca eluhlaza, amatye amanzi kunye nevumba elimnandi lomhlaba. Inkalakahla ifumana amanqaku aluhlaza axutywe neengcebiso ezifihlakeleyo zesiqhamo se-citrus esomelezwe luphawu oluthambileyo lwetyuwa yolwandle, lwenza i-tapestry enomtsalane.

Uhambo lwewayini longezwa yiasidi edlamkileyo, ifaka inkalakahla yonke ngokuhlaziyeka okutsha. Kuwo onke amaqhekeza, incasa yencasa iyaphucuka kwaye le mvakalelo ihlaziyayo ihlala ixesha elide emva kokuwa kokugqibela.
