英國有出產甚麼酒?相信好多人都答得出:啤酒、GIN酒,威士忌。
好喇,將範圍縮窄至英格蘭,(經常聽到唔少人話過,唔使分得咁細,英國就英國,唔使講咁多。直到今時今日,仍然有唔少人將英格蘭國家隊稱之為英國隊。真係當蘇格蘭、威爾斯、北愛爾蘭死嘅。)又會有甚麼酒?
啤酒,這個是一定,下個月暫定計劃會到倫敦某啤酒廠一遊,應該很過癮。
威士忌?的而且確,英格蘭也有威士忌酒廠,起碼香港馬莎超級市場有售。
GIN?London Dry Gin可能有不少人領教過,但是其他地方,大廠至細廠的GIN呢?
葡萄酒?吓?英格蘭也有出產葡萄酒?不熟悉葡萄酒的人,也許會露出如此驚訝表情。
英格蘭的氣候與法國相約,怎能沒有條件出產葡萄酒?年前我在英國某地,首次接觸英格蘭葡萄酒,沒有甚麼大驚小怪。
上星期,出席由英國領事館協辦的試酒會,品嚐數款來自英格蘭各地的酒莊,出產的葡萄汽酒,與及一些英格蘭的GIN酒。
英格蘭的酒莊,通常集中在倫敦以東,或西南方向,肯德郡的Chapel Town出產的氣酒,最近在上環歌賦街的西餐廳Gough on Gough's的酒牌上出現,星期日的早午餐,只要付大約三百多,便可無限添飲。
當日一共試了7款汽酒,個人最喜歡是Bolney Wine Estate的Blanc de Blancs,芳香的花卉氣息是第一個印象,輕輕的檸檬清香、礦物、水果的味道,乾身但爆炸性不強,中等身段顯出其well balance。暫時香港並未有零售,上網訂的話,大約三百元一瓶,值得我在倫敦買一兩瓶回來與眾同樂。
接著的數款GIN酒,最出名的莫過於全場唯一一位蘇格蘭代表Hendrick's,近年它們在推廣上取得空前成功,當在酒展見到放滿玫瑰的浴缸,就會想起這瓶GIN酒。
除此之外,Chapel Town的一陣香水加香草味,用上Sussex酒花,入口柔順,結尾帶著陣陣果香, hoppy的Mayfield,挺特別的風味。
全場留下最佳印象的,不是倫敦GIN,而是Brighton,南部的白禮頓,當我見到酒廠的女主人,我打趣地說:(哈哈,我隊波剛剛贏你隊Brighton AFC 2:0!當然我還喜歡聽你哋個Fatboy Slim。)
喝著柔和、帶點香橙的甜,典型的莧茜香氣,以足球來打開話題,實在錯不了。
於2014設廠,上年推出第一瓶威士忌的Cotswolds Distillery,剛好三年陳,合乎威士忌最低年份的法例,不過label以NAS (Non-age statement)示人。波本桶與wine桶的結合,是充斥著雲呢拿、香橙、香蕉、皮革、焦糖等味道,酒身柔和而不刺激,很難想像這只是三年陳的出品!
