【📝概述】
🇦🇷 3 款精美葡萄酒 PART 2。由阿根廷胡胡伊的 Fernando Dupont 酒莊（位於薩爾塔北部）釀造。 多虧了 Patricio Dupont，我才有機會發掘他們家的葡萄酒，Patricio 是 Fernando 的侄子，也是法國 Vinos de Altura 企業的物主，極力推廣胡胡伊和 Fernando Dupont 莊園產出的葡萄酒。
Fernando Dupont 莊園位於 Quebrada de Humahuaca 地區（2013 年已被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產），海平面 2500 公尺以上，是世界上最高的莊園之一，周圍環繞著由山脈、仙人掌和岩石構成的壯麗景觀。 靠近玻利維亞邊境，該地區太熱而無法釀造葡萄酒，由於海拔高使 Fernando Dupont 莊園可栽培葡萄。
今天介紹的第二款酒是：Pasacana 2016 - IG Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina.
熟成：在新波爾多橡木桶中待 18 個月後在瓶裡熟成 6 個月。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
80% 馬爾貝克 Malbec, 10% 希哈 Syrah, 10% 卡本內蘇維翁 Cabernet Sauvignon, 15.8% ABV。
【👀視覺印象】
深紫色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
具有明顯清晰且令人著迷的成熟李子、黑醋栗、黑櫻桃、紅櫻桃、乾燥香草、黑胡椒、青椒、黑橄欖、皮革、煙草、雪茄盒和巧克力香氣。
【👅味覺品嘗】
明顯的香氣與鼻子相似。 香料、香草和黑色水果的尾韻非常長。 中等偏高的酸度、高酒精度、中等單寧、酒體飽滿。
非常強勁但沒有失衡，在掌握之中。口感圓潤、單寧融合、長時間的橡木成熟帶來了很多複雜性，給人明確辛辣的味道但不會壓倒果味（這證明了他們用高品質的葡萄以釀造其葡萄酒）， 你可以在結尾感受到一些植物/綠色元素和動物香。 一切都非常平衡，甚至感覺不到幾乎 16% 的酒精。 整體上確實令人印象深刻。
【🍷簡單結論】
這瓶酒簡直是 Jujuy 的大使，對我來說是最好的阿根廷馬爾貝克 Malbec 之一。 真正的阿根廷高山之旅！ 我認為這這瓶酒陳年之後會越來越棒！
【📝Brief intro】
🇦🇷 3 exquisite wines 🇦🇷 PART 2/3 crafted by Fernando Dupont Winery in Jujuy, Argentina (Located in northern Salta). I had the chance to discover those wines thanks to Patricio Dupont, the nephew of Fernando who is the owner of the business Vinos de Altura in France which promotes several estates from Jujuy along with his uncle’s of course.
The Dupont estate is located in the Quebrada de Humahuaca area (UNESCO World Heritage 2013), 2,500 meters above sea level and is one of the highest estates in the world, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes made of mountains, cactus and rocks. Close to the Bolivia border, the area would be too hot to make wines (at ground level), altitude making viticulture possible (as the temperature falls by approximately 0.6° every 100 m increase).
Second wine: Pasacana 2016 (IG Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina)
Maturation: 18 months in new Bordeaux oak barrels and 6 months in bottle.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
80% Malbec, 10% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15.8% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Deep purple.
【👃Nose】
Incredible and pronounced with aromas of ripe plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, red cherry, dried herbs, black pepper, green pepper, black olive, leather, tobacco, cigar box, and chocolate.
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose. A super long finish on the spices, herbs and black fruits. Medium+ acidity, High alcohol, medium tannin, full body.
It’s very powerful but perfectly under control, very round in the mouth with integrated tannin, the long oak maturation brings a lot of complexity and really gives a spicy character but doesn’t overwhelm the fruit (which proves the quality of the grapes used), you can feel some vegetal / green notes and animal elements towards the end. Everything is balanced and you don’t even feel the almost 16% alcohol. Really impressive overall.
【🍷 Conclusion】
The ambassador of Jujuy, one of the best Argentinian Malbecs to me. A real trip to the high mountains of Argentina. A wine for the gauchos! I think it can only improve with bottle ageing.
