The water and soil raise wine of one party (Fig.) in one party
Half hillside fields of water the best vineyards to the front
Terroir is that one is often lifted by people in the wine world, but the vocabulary not translated accurately. So people were all powerful and unconstrained styles while discussing Terroir, everybody's concepts are all very fuzzy, very generally. We Chinese have an old saying that is named " The water and soil raise the people of one party in one party " ,Li of this sentence one " One party " ,Mean a certain region; " water and soil " ,Including the geographical position, climate environment; " people of one party " ,Live in people of region this for a long time. Person at the different region, because environment different, life style different geographical climate different and concept different and humanity history different conducting oneself in society difference, it will be different that the cultural personality characteristic is natural too. This sentence is actually a concept of abundant explanation Terroir, Terroir is " wine that the water and soil of one party raise one party " spoken herein ,Because of these above-mentioned factors, the wine world will be changeable, it is because of Terroir too, the wine lets people feel difficult to fathom. There is idea that a lot of people have been following Terroir all the time, make one's own legendary wine.
Quality of the wine
Depend on the favor of the nature
If we can divide it into the intersection of Terroir and wine and commercialized wine (Commercial Wine) the intersection of wine and extensive division ,The commercialized wine no matter under what environment grape making wine grows, the winemakers can all let the wine keep unanimous style and mouthfeel through the present Hi-Tech means. Of this kind wine suitable for, drink at ordinary times very, will let us much fun that sample wine less. The wine worth collecting that we often talk about is Terroir wine, can be through one's own color and luster because of the wine, fragrance, the area where the mouthfeel reflects and makes wine grapes are planted, in year that pluck, the winemaker's idea,etc., but these are not through getting artificially, but totally depend on the nature. The level of teacher's level of sampling wine can be distinguished by tasting Terroir wine too.
A word of Terroir is French, so we can imagine Terroir importance in France even more, France has made wine in line with the idea of Terroir all the time, has just nowadays had status on the market of international wine. The wine is not for judging initially, it is only a kind of good medicine that can lengthen the life-span initially, the excitant that the soldier must be drunk before going to the front, made the wine get distillation because of religion later, the wine is devoted for all one's life for it by persons as the blood of the spirit. It will be born in Bourgogne that the west is much, they had become a kind of art form of the originally uninteresting manual labor distillation that worked hard in the vineyard, also they have proposed the idea of Terroir first, in order to make and sell " spirit " Satisfactory wine is perfectly willing live and die together with the grape tree. A young one these cultivate oneself according to a religious doctrine person concentrate on studies the characteristic of the grape, try to cultivate finer variety through prunning branches, grafting etc., make the wine meticulously. They find through observing in making course of wine, the wine that the grape produced on different land made, stick respects such as consistency,etc. and have obvious difference from the color and luster. They make wine with the grape born on different soil separately, then compare the wine, by this soil at variety,subsequently the west many can brother can pass by oneself trial test against soil, go to look for the soil of the same type. The wine of Bourgogne is still in world summit of wine until today.
The vineyard of half way up the mountain is the best
Terroir nowadays waits upon a wine teacher to answer a word that guest's knotty problem can often use too, when guests face a feast for the eyes grape wine list, often have no way of doing it, does not know either why price differential of the price of wine will be so enormous, choose the same producing region those especially, at the the same wine of variety, perhaps a section of wine sells for 500 yuan, another style sells for 1500 yuan. The difference of this price perhaps because the geographical position that the grape used and made wine is in is different. For example plant on the precipitous hillside in a vineyard, everybody knows the grape produced in vineyard on hillside will be better, that because receive the big plain noodles, ventilate, the water drainage of the soil is good. But should subdivide according to Terroir, the mountaintop in this hillside, Terroir under half way up the mountain and the foot of the hill will have very big difference. The least good place is certainly under the foot of the hill, because can not comparatively ventilate well there, because of the erosion of the rainwater, the soil here is the most fertile, do not produce making wine in the best area of the grape, the wine that the grape here makes out presents the taste of the mushroom, the breath of only funguses sometimes. The best area is the position of half way up the mountain on the hillside, this section of regional different fields is the most balanced, moisture neither too much nor too little, wine produced to make can often present the pleasant fragrance of flowers of violet with the grape of area. Wait upon a wine teacher to discern the true and false which a trader talk about of wine according to Terroir.
The helicopter is ventilated by the vineyard
Humanity is an important one in Terroir too, because each place in the area has one's own traditional making wine method and traditional making wine idea in France, this is a characteristic of each area, spread in thousands of years. The same grape will demonstrate totally different styles in the hands of different winemakers. The popular now one " The garage " Small the intersection of wine and village, display Terroir thoroughly even more. They regard wine that oneself make as the work of art, and the wine is really general like the artistic treasure, can meet but can't ask. , under the moist not ventilated situation of the weather, some villages can mainly use the helicopter to help one's own vineyard to ventilate in the top vineyard; Before the frostbite comes, the village will mainly light the fire to promote the temperature around and avoid the frostbite in the vineyard; Whether adopt the big traditional wooden barrel to ferment, or ferment with the advanced stainless steel container, all these are the manifestation of humanity different from attitude of making wine. Because not so good as the absolute one in the wine world, it is good that there is only the relative one.
From in order to be loaded the grape tree that time of the underground, Terroir had already begun to exert an influence on it. A section of outstanding wine will not be liked or accepted by all persons, but one section can really reflect the locality " The water and soil " With " humanity " Wine,last wine Terroir could show to style alone at locality.
