公元前尽管夏天有火和极高的热量
Wine grape crop has higher concentrations of flavours but lower yields
卑诗省奥肯那根地区的葡萄种植者正在每年秋季收获期间从葡萄园带来葡萄酒的葡萄酒葡萄,降低了30%的收率。
虽然史无前例的纪录热和极端干旱条件促成了较小的葡萄酒葡萄作物,但相同的生长条件有助于产生酿酒师特别兴奋的水果。
卑诗省奥利弗(Oliver)的13 Road Vineyards的首席酿酒师Barclay Robinson说:“我对2021年的质量质量非常乐观。”
"I'm seeing fantastic flavours across the board in our whites and our rosés and then the reds that are coming in right now."
酿酒厂及其葡萄园位于金英里长凳上,这是不列颠哥伦比亚省的一个亚葡萄酒区,位于奥尔弗南部的奥肯那根山谷西坡。
6月下旬,温度达到了高40 c C的高度数天,这是生长季节的关键时期,葡萄藤从开花转变为水果。
罗宾逊说:“随着高温,植物基本上就关闭了。它不是成熟的,它没有生长,因为它根本无法将水和养分从地上拉出。”
The heat stress led to poor fruit set — which occurs when a fertilized flower begins to develop a seed and grape berry — and reduced yields in some varieties.
根据葡萄酒种植者不列颠哥伦比亚省的说法,今年的收益率下降了15%至30%。
通过夏季——coupl持续温暖的天气ed with drought conditions in the region — resulted in smaller berries on grape vines but a strong concentration of flavour in the fruit, Robinson said.
他补充说:“这种风味的浓度将为2021年提供奇妙的葡萄酒。”
'Mother Nature this year helped the wineries'
几公里之遥,尽管产量较低,但Balwinder Dhaliwal也预计今年的农作物也有出色的复古。
Dhaliwal grows about 200 hectares of wine grapes, which he sells to wineries across the Okanagan and uses to make wine at his family's Kismet Estate Winery.
"Mother Nature this year helped the wineries," he said. "I think this is the best vintage since we've been doing this, almost 25 to 30 years."
达利瓦尔说,夏季炎热和干燥的夏天,诸如马尔贝克,赤霞珠和西拉兹等红酒葡萄品种尤其受益匪浅,并指出,风味的浓度会在葡萄酒味室里照亮顾客的口味。
"People that know wine and love wine, they definitely can tell the difference this year," he said.
不列颠哥伦比亚葡萄酒种植者的首席执行官迈尔斯·普罗丹(Miles Prodan)说,欧肯娜根(Okanagan)的种植者报道了类似的产量,但葡萄园从葡萄园(Vineyards)带来了相似的葡萄酒,但不列颠葡萄园的种植者葡萄酒葡萄酒葡萄酒葡萄酒葡萄酒的收成。
The Okanagan Valley, stretching across more than 250 kilometres, is home to 86 per cent of B.C.'s vineyard acreage.
夏季,地区遭受了野火烟雾
去年夏天,该地区的许多野火结束了几天,山谷被烟熏了几天。
当燃烧的树木和土壤中的空气传播化合物放在葡萄树上时,火烟可能会污染葡萄酒的味道。
Prodan说,他没有听到酿酒师的消息,他们担心2021年葡萄酒会燃烧葡萄酒。
他说:“关于烟雾的有趣之处在于,它确实随烟的浓度而变化,烟雾起源于葡萄开始的生长过程中的哪个步骤。”
Prodan说,葡萄园旁边燃烧的大火落在葡萄树上和葡萄簇上,比在整个山谷中悬挂在空气中的烟雾更令人担忧。
罗宾逊说,酿酒师还可以在发酵过程中和之后处理烟雾化合物。
"At Road 13, we didn't see such extreme smoke taint that it would affect not bringing in a vineyard block, so ours were very mild cases," he said.
“这肯定可以与之合作,而且仍然可以获得一款非常优质的产品。”
