The second 123: wine origin
The old world and the new world of wine:
According to the territory divided by the British wine writer Mr. Hugh Johnson, the author of "World Wine Map", the world's wine producing areas are divided into: "Old World" and "New World" "(New World).
1. Old World production areas refer to the European countries where modern wine originated, such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other traditional production areas.
2. New World production areas refer to emerging production areas such as the United States, Australia, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, New Zealand and Asia.
Modern winemaking technology and grape varieties originated from Europe, and the wine culture and wine flavor were also spread to all parts of the New World. Countries in the Old World have retained many native wine-making varieties. Wine is usually made from a mixture of several different grapes, with diverse and rich flavors. Wines are named after their place of origin, without specifying the grape variety or brewing method.
The difference between wine and other alcoholic beverages is that tasting is a state of mind, a life attitude, and a cultural connotation. There are long histories, stories and inheritance behind the wines of the Old World, which cultivate the art of food and even the philosophy of life. The insistence on the traditional farming and brewing process makes the wines of the Old World, especially France, not only unique in every region. , the style differences of each grape, each estate, and each vintage, and even if it is the same winery, the same grapes, and the same vintage, each barrel, each box, or even each bottle in the same box, They all have their own unique life growth and unique personality.
——Old World wine labels generally do not indicate the grape variety, but emphasize the place of origin.
——The general origin and grape varieties of New World wines will be told to you.
New world production areas, and even emerging production areas in the old world, choose to follow the good ones, because there are many mistakes in the past, matching is selected based on climate and land conditions, and there are successful experiences that can be copied and the market is popular. The grape varieties and types are named after the grape variety, which is simple and easy for consumers to understand and purchase. Coupled with the investment of old-world winery technology and money, there are no strict laws and regulations, and it can be controlled by technology. And to make up for the shortcomings, as the age of the grape vines increases and the yield and quality become stable, the chances of producing high-quality wines in the New World greatly increase, and many of them have been promoted to the ranks of the world's top wines in terms of flavor and price. New forces have sprung up, and the expansion rate is also astonishing. Coupled with active publicity and promotion, innovative and market-friendly marketing techniques, especially in recent years, it has successfully challenged and indeed threatened the old world wine market.
Today, Old World wines are advancing with the times, and more and more wine labels have added variety descriptions; New World wines are moving closer to tradition and paying more and more attention to the concept of production areas.
3. Chinese wine has “a long past but a relatively short history.” The obvious situation is that we have missed something during the establishment of wineries over the years, including taste and quality. It is only in recent years that people have begun to face up to the important qualities that winemakers should have: growing grapes sincerely and using grapes honestly. To make wine. And it has achieved good results. Ningxia and Xinjiang production areas can produce many good wines with international tastes. The next step will be even more exciting.
Attached: The top ten Chinese wines I drank in 2017:
1) Ningxia Xiatong sparkling wine:
Currently making sparkling wine in China There are not many wines, and there is no dispute that the only one that meets the quality standard is Xia Tong. The dry white and rosé are both very good, and even better is the price.
Let me just talk about Ao Yun, the red wine produced by the same group in Yunnan. It costs US$300 a bottle. I have been lucky enough to try it three times. They all say it is the most expensive Chinese wine, but it is still far from the best.
2) Xinjiang Tiansai Winery Dry White Wine:
There are not many choices for white wine, including Ningxia Pernod Ricard’s Chardonnay, Ningxia Canaan’s Riesling, The Chardonnay from COFCO Great Wall Yunmo Winery in Ningxia and the Chardonnay from Beaufort are both clean and pleasant. The surprise comes from Xinjiang. The white wines from Puchang Winery are all good, but the red wines are even better. The red wines from Tiansai Winery are also very good, but the Chardonnay has reached a new level.
It is not easy to make white wine, especially in China. Winery testing, bottle testing, different places, different batches, etc. make it extremely difficult to achieve stability and unity, and the road is long. Woolen cloth.
3) Xinjiang Puchang Winery Red Wine:
A somewhat mysterious winery, both white and red wines are very good. If you have the opportunity to visit the winery and vineyards, it would be great .
4) Ningxia Chengcheng Winery:
I tried it on different occasions, and the quality is stable and surprising. It occasionally has a Bordeaux flavor. I have never been to the winery, so it remains mysterious.
5) Ningxia Guogong Manor:
This is a winery that I am looking forward to very much. It has its own controllable vineyards that are nearly 20 years old. Brother Guo Yunwen is also very professional. Research spirit, the impact of different fields, fermentation tanks at different locations, different oak barrels on the flavor of wine, etc. are all clear, but how can we integrate these into one, refine the product series, and then put it in bottles? , can still give people a sense of surprise, then it is successful.
6) Ningxia Canaan Meidi Winery:
First of all, Wang Fang’s Riesling surprised me, and then the Black Horse was also very good, and more importantly, it was able to withstand loneliness. , she is not willing to sell her wine, which is not good. However, the style of the wine when young is similar to that of the surrounding wines. After five years, the wine will undergo a transformation and the quality will become better, which is good. If only the vines were older, if the vines were more carefully selected during brewing, there would be no other consequences. The land of Canaan would already be on its way to becoming a famous winery.
7) Ningxia Silver Highland Winery:
Needless to say, the brewing is precise, what kind of wine is made from the raw materials, the song is very good, the technology is still improving, and the instability is The difference probably lies in raw materials and output. The better songs in recent years should be the next year and the next year.
8) Ningxia Liushi Winery:
I was surprised by Liushi Winery. Last year it was still hidden, but this year all the wines I went to the winery suddenly had better quality wines. I feel that the dry white ones are very good, and the red ones are of medium to high quality. They feel different from the Ningxia style. The green plants and harshness that are customary at the foot of Helan Mountain are all gone. Hopefully this won’t be a breakthrough in a single year, but every year.
In recent years, many wineries have begun to produce white wine, but few of them are qualified. The best dry white in Ningxia is the Pernod Ricard Helan Mountain brand series. Zhou Shuzhen Zhougong, the winemaker of Liushi and Canaan, came from Pernod Ricard and has unique experience in dry white brewing.
9) Ningxia Helan Qingxue Winery:
Dry whites have also been produced in recent years, but the quality still needs work. Needless to say, Gabelan was amazing last year. Whether it was wine tasting at the winery or blind tasting at the wine table, this year it feels like the style has been transformed. After ten years of accumulation, there is finally a sense of breakthrough in striving for excellence. Even if there are good raw materials, grape selection is still very important. I admire the perseverance of the winemaker Zhang Jing. I always call her: Helan Mountain Xiaohuangrong, lively and generous, and unique.
10) Ningxia St. Louis Din Winery:
Well, Mr. Luo Yaowen, the god of brewing. The vineyards are all owned by his own family, and Luo Gong is very strict about field management. He has been studying Ningxia's unique planting difficulties and seeking breakthroughs.
——Riesling from the beautiful land of Canaan in Ningxia.
