此款 2010 年的 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Zwerithaler 結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，顯示了 Bodenstein 葡萄園土壤和葡萄藤品種的非同尋常之處。此款類似 Riesling 的酒散發(fā)著杏子與酸橙的味道，并伴有大黃、新鮮青豆以及煙熏紅茶的風(fēng)味。散發(fā)著酸酸的水果皮以及辛辣的水果核味，并伴有可口的鹽味，濃淡適宜，帶有四川辣椒煙熏味。口感圓潤清爽，沁人心脾。此款酒非常濃稠，散發(fā)著濃郁的樹液味，活力十足，具有 Bodenstein 莊園一般年份酒所有的優(yōu)雅與精致。該酒令人印象深刻，若再陳釀十年，風(fēng)味依舊。

Bodenstein’s 2007 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Zwerithaler comes from another site planted with old vines of diverse clonal origin and condition. “You can’t really call it a vineyard,” he says, “more like a hospital ward!” Persimmon, beet root, brown spices, and white pepper run all the way through this darkly-hued, bone dry (1.5 gram residual sugar) Veltliner. Smoky notes and subtle but insistent fruit skin tartness invigorate, and a palpable sense of extract puts an impressive, stony floor beneath the flavors, leading to a long, pepper and crushed stone dusted finish. I suspect this will be worth hanging on to for 6-8 years at least. This was one of our most expensive and laborious harvests ever, says Toni Bodenstein, adding that if the mere two bottlings he does of Federspiel had not this year represented a full 50% of his production, the attention and selectivity necessary for the quality of all the other wines would not have been possible. Bodenstein notes that he didn’t risk long skin contact this year, as he did not want to risk losing tartaric acidity to precipitation.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
