對於西班牙提子,老鬼只識得 Tempranillo (西班牙紅酒提子品種)Tempranillo is a variety of black grape widely grown to make full-bodied red wines[1] in its native Spain. It is the main grape used in Rioja, and is often referred to as Spain's "noble grape".[2] Its name is the diminutive of the Spanish temprano ("early"),[1] a reference to the fact that it ripens several weeks earlier than most Spanish red grapes. In the last 100 years it has been planted in Mexico, New Zealand, South America, USA, South Africa, Australia, Turkey and Canada.
Tempranillo wines can be consumed young, but the most expensive ones are aged for several years in oak barrels. The wines are ruby red in colour, with aromas and flavors of berries, plum, tobacco, vanilla, leather and herb.

咁多款酒當然有好有唔好,大部份都唔差,老鬼在云云思眾酒中選了佢:
Belondrade y Lurton Verdejo, Rueda 2002

100% Verdejo (白酒提子品種) ,乜來架?真係未飲過,原來Verdejo is a variety of wine grape that has long been grown in the Rueda region of Spain. The grape originated in North Africa, and was spread to Rueda in about the 11th Century, possibly by Mozarabs.[1] Verdejo was generally used to make a strongly oxidized, Sherry-like wine. In the 1970s the winemaking company Marqués de Riscal began to develop a fresher style of white wine based on Verdejo with the help of French oenologist Émile Peynaud.[2] In 1980 white wines from the Rueda region were recognized by a Denominación de Origen (DO). Wines labeled Rueda must contain 50% Verdejo; the remainder is typically Sauvignon blanc or Macabeo. Wines designated "Rueda Verdejo" must contain 85% Verdejo, and are often 100% Verdejo.[3]

The Verdejo grapes are generally harvested at night. This means that the grapes enter the cellar at the lower night-time temperature of between 10-15 C instead of the daytime temperature which in September can reach as high as 28 or 30 C. Lower temperatures means less oxidation, or browning of the juice. [4] Verdejo wines are aromatic, often soft and full-bodied.[5]

Brilliant lemon yellow. Ripe pears on the nose, some peach, caramel notes and mineral notes. Some candied pineapple, apple sauce, balsamic notes, sweet spice and Turkish honey, complex and inviting on the palate, long finish with ripe stone fruit and caramel

同佢:
Campo Alegre, Toro 2007

Second wine of Campo Eliseo and exculsive to H&H Bancroft Wines this silky smooth red is packed full of blackcurrent and black cherry fruit with hints of oak spice and black pepper. It is rich and full bodied with soft tannins balanced acidity and a long finish. Delicious now it has the structure to age 5-7 years from vintage.

當然係 Campo Eliseo 正啲但 Campo Alegre 嘅性價比高啲而且重有啲大酒 feel 添喎,100% Tempranillo 重係用全人手採摘 hehehehehe
