There is a strong musk grape flavor in the bouquet, and there is an aroma similar to syrup or pear juice stewed with spices. The entrance is sweet and delicious, with a strong peach flavor and a aftertaste similar to that of fruit cake. It is supported by high acidity, so it will not be particularly sweet and greasy. Micro bubbles tease your tongue from time to time.
This wine is very suitable as a party wine, and 6% alcohol can make you drink more boldly. The lively and pleasing taste also makes the sultry and rainy afternoon very refreshing and pleasant, even people who don't like drinking will not resist!
Israel's wine is very small, and most wine books on the market will not even write Israel as a producing area, or simply summarize it in one or two sentences. Many people classify Israel as a "new world" wine producing area. In fact, Israel has a very long history of winemaking, and its wine production was quite large as early as 2000 years ago. However, due to the influence of political situation and war, Israel's wine-making road has gone through an extremely tortuous course and was forced to stop 1000 years. Until the end of19th century, when Edmond James Rothschild, the owner of Lafite? James. De? Rothschild) established a winery in Israel, and the wine industry in Israel officially started.
Today, Israel uses advanced technology to continuously improve its cultivation and brewing, and has been helped by domestic industry associations. At the same time, in order to broaden their horizons and accumulate experience, winemakers who graduated from wine brewing in the future will fly to all parts of the world (the United States, France, Australia and other countries) for long-term professional training. These efforts have led to a comprehensive upgrade and international recognition of Israeli wines. Oz Clarke, a British wine writer, said, "israel is a new star in the wine industry in Ran Ran." Israel is a rising star in the wine industry. )
Of course, classic varieties, cool climate and high-altitude vineyards are also essential.
Golan Heights Winery, also known as "Magic Lamp Winery", is a leading and influential high-quality wine producer in Israel and the first winery in Israel to produce moscato wine. "Golan Heights" is also the name of the winery's producing area, belonging to the famous Galilee producing area, bordering Syria.
Due to volcanic activity and magma flow, a basalt layer rich in minerals has been formed in the Golan Heights. The high altitude here brings a cool climate to the vineyards. Under relatively heavy rainfall, the grapes can still maintain acidity in the area of 33 degrees north latitude, making the wine fresh and full of vitality.
Sharon Kam, a famous clarinet player born in Israel, first cooperated with Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by zubin mehta at the age of 16, and then went to Juilliard Conservatory of Music in the United States with the encouragement of violinist isaac stern. Today, Sharon Cam is a clarinet player with world-class reputation.
Clarinet Concerto in A Major is Mozart's only clarinet concerto, and the famous second movement once appeared in the movie Out of Africa. This piece of music was also used many times in the earlier TV series Cosmos hosted by American astronomer carl sagan.
This video is selected from the third movement of this concerto. This movement has become a cheerful tone, which makes people forget the sadness of the last movement, and the relaxed and lively notes immerse people in joy. In the "Concert to Celebrate Mozart's 250th Birthday", Sharon Kamm's exquisite performance and vivid body language are even more wonderful and intoxicating.

(32) Watching the movie Princess Cece, I opened a bottle of Austrian Green Vitri for nothing.
Wine name: Weinkellerstolz Grüner Veltliner
Brewery: Weinkellerstolz
Origin: Austria, Lower Austria
Level: PDO (Protection of Origin)
Type: dry white
Grape variety: Green Vitri Na (Austrian iconic grape variety)
Year: 2020
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Grüner Veltliner is the most important native white grape variety in Austria, which is widely planted in almost every wine producing area in Austria. This wine smells sweet, with the flavors of passion fruit, orange peel, nectarine and honey, as well as the aroma of nuts, especially roasted pine nuts, and occasionally captures some white pepper flavor with a slight mineral feeling. The entrance is crisp, and the fresh citrus is full of vitality with its unique spicy flavor. I tried it with roasted vegetables, steamed ribs, fried chicken and nuts, and the effect was good.
Maybe you are not so familiar with Austrian wine, but you must be familiar with Austrian wine glass brands like Riedel and Zalto. They all make top professional wine glasses.
Austria is a country with a high degree of greening, and its natural environment is fresh and beautiful. People are often immediately attracted by the oil-painting scenery: patchwork mountain cottages, comfortable and romantic town streets, poetic Alps and the blue Danube written by Strauss ... The beauty of the four seasons alternates here, as if walking into a beautiful European garden.
Austria is not only a country with clear water and green mountains, but also a country with strong environmental awareness. Austria loves and respects nature very much. For Austrians, environmental protection, water purity, non-genetically modified food, health, biodiversity and energy efficiency are their top priorities.
Austria has a forward-looking environmental protection concept and leading environmental protection technology. Here, the proportion of organically grown grapes reaches 65,438+05.3% (which is the world's leading), and nearly one-fifth of them are planted by biological power. Biodynamic method (mentioned above) is a special form of organic production method, which is very popular in Austria. It was originally founded by Austrian philosopher rudolf steiner.
Speaking of Austria, people will also think of Vienna, the "World Music City", which is a pilgrimage place for music lovers. In Vienna, besides the famous musical family-Strauss family, there are many musicians, such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Mahler. They have spent many years in music here.
The world's top Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra holds the annual Vienna New Year Concert in the Golden Hall. Every summer, it will also hold a free outdoor large-scale music event in Sch? nbrunn Palace-"Sch? nbrunn Palace Summer Night Concert", attracting tens of thousands of fans to listen.
Sch? nbrunn Palace is the residence of Austrian Emperor Franz Josef I and Princess Sissi, and also the shooting place of the film Princess Sissi. The series of films "Princess Cece" unveiled a corner of the European royal life for us, which used a lot of gorgeous waltzes, ballets, marches and religious music. However, the most impressive music must be the guzheng played by Princess Sisi in the first movie, which became an eternal screen classic in just over 30 seconds.
Tip: Grüner in Grüner Veltliner means "green" in German. Looking at the name, it is easy to think of the aroma of green pepper and grass, or the sour aroma of lime and green apple. In fact, its most typical aroma is the pungent smell similar to white pepper. Greenvitrina is an expert in food and beverage, which can be perfectly matched with many Asian cuisines.
(33) Listen to Mozart's minuet and open a bottle of American Chardonnay.
Wine Name: Doman Druheng Arthur Chardonnay, Oregon
Winery: Domaine Delauhin
Origin: Mount Dundee, Oregon, USA
Grade: AVA (legal grape growing area)
Type: dry white
Grape variety: Chardonnay
Year: 20 19
Alcohol content: 13.9%
The wine is clear and lemon-colored, and you can smell the rich citrus fragrance without shaking the glass. The aroma is very sweet, including vanilla, bread butter, butter, hazelnut and honey, and some minerals. There will be a picture of Van Gogh's oil painting "Apricot Blossoms in Bloom" in my mind, as if accompanied by birds singing.
The taste is between rich and crisp, the acidity is moderate, slightly mineral, and the wonderful aftertaste stays in the mouth for a long time. This wine can be drunk alone after being chilled, and it is also suitable for seafood, roasted vegetables and Chinese snacks.
The United States is the world's largest wine consumption market, with a very fast growth rate. Oregon, located on the northwest coast, has a cool climate, similar to Burgundy, which is very suitable for planting black Pi Nuo. The price of vineyards here is much cheaper than that of Burgundy, which can save a lot of production costs. Many top wine merchants in Burgundy realized the brewing potential of Oregon and invested in vineyards and wineries here to enter the American market.
Domaine Drouhin, founded in 1987, is one of them. The winery is located in Dundee Mountain in Willamette Valley, 30 miles southwest of Portland.
Domaine Drouhin belongs to Maison Joseph Drouhin, a famous brewing family in Burgundy, and is located in Beaune, Burgundy. The Chardonnay grapes used in this wine are all cloned seedlings from Burgundy, which can be said to be an American wine with Burgundy descent.
Véronique Drouhin is the fourth generation winemaker in the family, and now she is also the chief winemaker of two wineries, who travels between Burgundy and Oregon all the year round. This Chardonnay is named after Veronique's son Arthur.
When brewing this wine, Véronique fermented some grapes in French oak barrels, which made the wine breathe slowly in the oak barrels, showing complexity. The rest of the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to keep the vitality and fruity taste of the wine. Finally, the two parts are mixed together to create a more refined and elegant wine. For Véronique, it's like "mixing pure Chablis with elegant Morso".
On the soil of Oregon, Véronique brewed a wine style that not only preserved the soul of the old world but also catered to the taste of the new world. She thinks that although Burgundy wine has inspired her a lot, Oregon should have its own style instead of trying to be another Burgundy. This is very important.
Véronique likes listening to music, especially classical music, especially Mozart and Schubert. I wonder, will she often play Mozart's minuets for guests or wine in her wine cellar or vineyard?
The minuet is a three-beat dance music that originated from French folk. /kloc-it was introduced to the court by the people in the 0/7th century and popularized by the French king Louis XIV who was keen on dancing. It didn't take long for minuet to spread among the court nobles, and it became popular all over Europe.
Mozart likes to write minuets very much, and minuets are often found in his symphonies, concertos, chamber music and operas. This minuet is selected from the third movement of Mozart's Roaming in D Major 17. Its melody is very beautiful, elegant and dexterous, which can be said to be one of Mozart's most famous minuets.
Tip: When I first smelled this wine, I smelled a very obvious pomegranate flavor, but it didn't seem to be in harmony with other flavors. Later, it turned out to be my pomegranate hand cream ... If you want to make the aroma judgment more accurate and have a better tasting experience, try to avoid using aromatherapy, perfume or scented hand cream before tasting, otherwise it will cause confusion and interference! Of course, if the theme is not about wine, or just to create a romantic atmosphere, please ignore this hint.
