斯洛文尼亞的葡萄酒

斯洛文尼亞周圍都是出色的酒國,匈牙利意大利,奧地利,克羅地亞,幾個主要酒區都和那些國家連著,各有不同的特色。

那天試的白葡萄 Rumeni Muškat*, Traminer#,Sauvignon Blanc 和 Šipon**就是在東北面與匈牙利奧地利接釀地區(地圖中藍色地區)的 puklavec & friends, Gomila Wines 和Vinarstvo Kupljen 。

斯洛文尼亞出名的是白酒,產量的佔近七成,他們質素非常好,結構工整而且價廉物美。 特別一提的是那Gomila的 Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc,非常優雅,清爽又有層次。

至於西面接意大利Friuli-Venezia Giulia的Primorje (地圖中產橙色地區),較多造國際品種和口味的,今次試到一支Vina Kristančič 的Bordeaux Blend (Merlot 70%)和香檳釀造法的Bjana氣泡酒。

*Rumeni muskat = Muscat Blanc À Petits Grains
#Traminer=Savagnin Blanc 。留意既不等於Gewürztraminer又不是Sauvignon Blanc不要看錯
** Šipon=Fumint

Slovenia is wedged between Italy, Austria and Hungary, Croatia and the Adriatic Sea. It is an emerald country with very diverse landscapes. I have tasted serveral of their white wines from Puklavec Family Winery Gomila and Vino Kupljen, grape varieities are Rumeni Muškat, Traminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Šipon. They came from the Podravska wine region which borders Austria and Hungary, mainly produce white wine (over 90% accoding to figures). Per my tasting, they had very fine quality, refreshing acidity and good structure, especially the Gomila Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc.

The Primorje region borders the Italian wine region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, making more wines with international grapes to establish international reputation, this time I have tasted a Bordeaux blend from Kristančič Winery and a methode champenoise sparkling by Bjana.
