傳奇意大利名酒Soldera—Corney & Barrow在港獨家代理。
Corney & Barrow 是英國成立時間最長的獨立葡萄酒商之一,一家同時兼有二枚皇室授權勳章的葡萄酒公司。現今在倫敦、愛丁堡、諾森伯蘭郡、香港以及最近剛剛開拓的新加坡都設有辦事處。
除了提供日常飲用的葡萄酒外,我們也提供葡萄酒期貨買賣服務,這是一種葡萄酒還在木桶裡釀造的時候就可以購買的期貨投資服務,,讓客戶有機會可以在某一特別年份的葡萄酒裝瓶前就進行投資。本公司旗下在英國獨家的葡萄酒包括波爾多右岸的Château Pétrus,勃艮第著名的Domaine de la Romanée-Conti,Domaine Bonneau du Martray, Comte Georges de Vogüé and Clos de Tart等等,這些酒都是期貨交易,由於我們可以確保其來源出處完美無可挑剔,所以特別容易在二手市場上的易手。
如有任何查詢,請致電2537 3325 或電郵到hongkong@corneyandbarrow.com。
就以最近本公司在君悅酒店舉行Soldera 晚宴為例,榮得我們公司行政總裁Adam Brett-Smith主持,整個Drawing Room也充滿著陣陣酒香和歡樂的笑聲。
打頭陣的是Salon Brut Blanc de Blancs, Le Mesnil 1997(沙龍香檳) ,採用100%的Chardonnay(莎當利)白葡萄製做,即blanc de blancs的香檳。直至2006年, Salon只推出了37個年份香檳,每一個年份最多也只生產6萬瓶左右,成為香檳中最響亮的名牌。
1997沙龍香檳, 淡雅的黃色與緩緩升揚的細白泡沫,蘊藏在裡頭的礦石風味帶領著白花,洋梨與黃桃香氣從酒體中一一現形,摻了些迷人的吐司,餅乾和焦糖香,尾韻是帶有礦石味,完美的層次變化,如此複雜的特性唯有帝王香檳能夠展現得淋漓盡致。
同場有2002 和2006 Soldera 2006, 但安排了先喝2006年是明智之選! 主菜意大利雲吞混合了松露醬,加上Soldera 100% Sangiovese, IGT 2006誘人的成熟士多啤利、紅莓、山苺香味,單寧柔順得如絲一般輕滑,酸度及果味平衡得宜,實在很難想像可以做出如此出色的紅酒。 Soldera 一般要在酒莊7至8年時間陳年才入樽;待酒質完全成熟穩定後才出廠,因此每個年份Soldera均完整的保存該年份的特色。所以大部分的2006 Soldera 是剛剛才運貨。可惜上年12月初,Soldera的前僱員晚上偷偷地在酒窖破壞了10個2007-2012的年份酒桶,此新聞震驚全世界,Soldera也因而將Soldera...
