Ludwig Neumayer Der Wein Vom Stein

點擊次數：2383

此款酒酒精度異乎尋常地低于 12%，這是由于此酒主要由 Traminer(s) 與 Muskateller 混釀而成。Neumayer 釀制的 2010 年的 Cuvee Vom Stein （以前被稱為“Der Wein vom Stein”）色澤明亮，散發著檸檬汁的味道，余味中帶有其混合酒Riesling 的味道 。散發著玫瑰、水仙、荔枝、芹菜莖的味道，微微伴有黑胡椒味，入口多汁，充滿活力，帶有成熟而又新鮮的蘋果風味。含有青澀藥草味和辛辣味，美味可口，并伴有誘人的鹽味，余味清爽，沁人心脾。此款雅致而又活力十足的葡萄酒，將在 4 至 5 年之后將呈現出多樣風味，令人愉悅。

2007 Der Wein Vom Stein now incorporates the words “Cuvee” and “Gemischer Satz” (becoming increasingly familiar to Austrians from the promotion of Viennese field blends) on its label, and is as usual based on a terraced, Traminer- and Muskateller-dominated vineyard, to which is added separate lots of inter alia Riesling (around 20%). Fresh lemon, apricot, and boxwood in the nose lead into a glossy textured but (for this cuvee) unusually fresh and lively palate, bitter notes of lemon zest, pungent herbs, and apricot kernel combining with salty, chalky notes for a decidedly invigorating and gripping finish. This should prove versatile and fascinating at table for at least 3-4 years. On account of the hot, dry July, Neumayer says he only did one spraying against mildew and almost no manicuring of the foliage. He picked well into October, since he did not find he was risking such high potential alcohol as his 2006s had reached already in the early days of that month. These wines have what he calls the “cracking” of acidity that invigorates and refreshes. (Note that because of a change in importers at the beginning of this year, prices on these wines were not yet available to me, and the wines themselves will only begin arriving later in the year. Readers should consult my reviews of the 2006s in issue 177 for a ballpark idea of eventual retail prices.) The wines of this years’ Riesling collection chez Neumayer were all very slow to ferment and ended up completely dry at the upper twelve’s in alcohol.Importer: Winemonger, Los Angeles, CA; www.winemonger.com

目前該機構尚無對此酒款的品評記錄。

Neumayer’s offering labeled simply as Der Wein Vom Stein comes in large part from an old field blend (although “cliff-dwelling blend” would be a more apt term in this instance) that incorporates a goodly percentage of Traminer. To this base, he adds bits of this and that, notably Riesling and Muskateller. The aroma of the resulting blend features yellow plum, elder flower and apple. In the mouth, this mid-weight, creamy-textured wine is very meaty, marrowy in flavor, with plum, apple and brown spice elements. Springs of playful, bright, ripe acids keep the flavors animated, and the surprisingly delicately-flavored finish is dry and whistle-clean. Neumayer, located in the little known Traisental south of Krems, has been one of my personal favorite sources for Austrian wine, so it is a pleasure to report that he now has an American importer.
