Mapema Sauvignon Blanc, Tupungato, Argentina

點擊次數(shù)：4021

The 2012 Sauvignon Blanc is from Tupungato and sees a light aging in French oak. The nose is primal and uncomplicated and does not really get to grips with the grape variety. The palate is simple with light apple and pear notes, although it needs more delineation on the finish. Drink now. Mapema is a personal project of Mariano di Paolo, winemaker at Rutini. He told me that he has bought land in Los Arboles to make it fully independent, although he has to wait for the drilling restrictions to be lifted in order to plant the vines that are busying growing in the nursery! These were acceptable wines, yet I think that the talented Mariano will truly show his class once he has sorted out his own vineyard.Importer: Vine Connections, Sausalito, CA; tel. (415) 332-8466

產(chǎn)自 Mapema 的2011 年份 Sauvignon Blanc ， 90% 的酒是在不銹鋼桶中發(fā)酵和培養(yǎng)的， 10% 的酒是在新式法國橡木桶中熟成的，其熟成期長達 3 個月。此款酒酒體適中，這得益于源自石頭的礦物質(zhì)，及彌散其中的柑橘香和花香。此外，此款酒風味可口，酸度適宜，回味清新。適飲期：未來 12-18 個月。

There is little Sauvignon Blanc coming out of Argentina but Mapema’s 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is a fine one by any standard. The wine was aged predominantly in stainless steel but 10% of the wine was aged in new French oak for 3 months. It offers up an excellent bouquet of fresh herbs, citrus, and floral aromas leading to a spicy, savory, concentrated Sauvignon with impeccable balance and plenty of length. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Importer: Vine Connections, Sausalito, CA; tel. (415) 332-8466
