Evodia Old Vine Garnacha 2020/2021

阿提維如酒莊 艾弗迪亞老藤紅酒

Altivonum 阿提維如酒莊為美國葡萄酒達人 Eric Solomon 的精選系列特釀的 Garnacha 紅酒。Eric Solomon 自詡為 Grenache 的愛好者與實踐者, 致力於來自全球各地優質 Garnacha 葡萄酒的推廣。釀酒師是被喻為動力釀酒師的 Jean Marc Lafage，他被 Robert Parker 譽為”無法被壓抑的人”他指導的酒莊遍佈全球，個人並擁有 Roussillon 地區最具前景的酒莊之ㄧ，Domaine Lafage。

酒莊位於 Atea 市，屬於 Zaragonza 省,海拔 842 公尺高，而 D.O. Calatayud 卡拉塔尤德是近期最令人期待的西班牙產區。這支葡萄酒以 100% Garnacha 釀成，葡萄藤樹齡平均近 100 年。葡萄於十月第二星期採收，產量不高，每公頃不到 3,000 公升。Calatayud 產區屬大陸型氣候，溫差明顯，夏乾冬濕，園區土壤以石塊和板岩為主，位於山區，海拔在 800 到 1,100 公尺之間。在不銹鋼桶裡發酵約 25 天，酵溫約在攝氏 25 度，不經橡木桶培養，所以不會帶有受感染軟木塞異味的 DIAM 軟木塞裝瓶。

日本漫畫神之雫 31 集稱之為美夢成真，物超所值的紅酒「開瓶後放超過 10 小時口感仍屹立不搖」。

The 2020 Evodia Pizarras Antiguas was selected from slate soils at 900 meters in altitude in the Santa Cruz Mountains (of Calatayud!) and fermented with 20% full clusters in concrete and a 15-day maceration. It matured in French oak barrels, 40% of them new, for 12 months. There is a sense of sun and warmth here, reminiscent of some Priorat wines from the past; there are notes of tar, warm slate and Mediterranean herbs and a touch of wood.

The 2021 Evodia comes from a cold year with snow, frost and some extreme temperatures (-18 degrees Celsius!) but an average rest of the season, some hail in July(!) and quite a lot of rain in early October, so not a year without challenges. They estimate a 25% decrease in yields, but the grapes picked before the rain delivered fresh wines with good aging potential. This finished at 14.6% alcohol and with good freshness and acidity. It fermented with some 15% full clusters in concrete, and 60% of the volume remained in concrete while the rest was equal parts in used 225-liter barrels and large oak vats for five months. It was a very challenging year, but the result feels great, a cooler and fresher vintage than 2020 and 2022. It's a fragrant Garnacha, a fruit-driven and juicy effort with super fine tannins and a balanced mouthfeel.
