在一些南美葡萄酒的产品资料中,细心的朋友们可能会看到有个评分主体叫Descorchados。
Descorchados是葡萄酒作家和品酒专家Patricio Tapia的智慧结晶,它已经确立了自己作为南美葡萄酒的终极指南的地位。它于1999年首次发布,涵盖了所有南美大陆的主要生产国:阿根廷、玻利维亚、巴西、智利、秘鲁和乌拉圭,代表了在给定年份发布的葡萄酒的全面概述。“这个项目诞生于1998年,当时我正在波尔多学习酿酒学,” Tapia解释道,“我意识到,真的没有一本指南能让我对南美的葡萄酒有一个个人的、公正的看法”。于是Descorchados诞生了,灵感来自于经典的英语版本,比如Hugh Johnston的Pocket Wine Book。
The brainchild of wine writer and expert taster Patricio Tapia, Descorchados has established itself as the ultimate guide to American wines produced south of the Equator. First released in 1999, it covers all of the southern continent's main producing countries – Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Uruguay – representing a comprehensive overview of the wines released in a given vintage. "The project was born in 1998 when I was studying oenology in Bordeaux," explains Tapia. "I realised there really wasn’t a guide that could offer a personal but also unbiased view of the wines of South America." And thus Descorchados was born, inspired by classic anglophone counterparts, such as Hugh Johnston's Pocket Wine Book.
在过去的四分之一个世纪里,每年,Tapia都会品尝来自南美洲600多家酒庄的近6000款葡萄酒。“这并不容易,但这是一种真正激励我的事情,给了我很多乐趣。” 这是一个独特的机会,年复一年,得到一个真正的全景南美葡萄酒的场景。“这转化为25年来积累的知识和经验,不仅通过品尝,还通过与酒庄的牢固关系以及对不同地区和风土的深刻理解。最终,我创立了Descorchados,是为了打开一扇通往南美葡萄酒世界的大门,并为我自己和读者打开这扇门。”
Each year, for the past quarter of a century, Tapia tastes nearly six thousand wines from more than 600 wineries across South America. "It’s not easy but it's an endeavour that really motivates me and gives me much pleasure. It's a unique opportunity to, year after year, get a truly panoramic view of the South American wine scene." This translates into twenty five years of accumulated knowledge and experience, developed not only through tasting but also through the strong relationships with producers and the deep understanding of the different regions and terroirs. "Ultimately, I've created Descorchados to open a door to the world of South American wine and to keep that door open for myself and for readers."
随着2023-2024年版《智利葡萄酒年鉴》的发行,这扇门又重新打开了,现在可以通过亚马逊、苹果图书和谷歌图书购买电子书。这个头衔在任何葡萄酒图书馆里都是来之不易的。它汇集了丰富的知识,但也邀请探索和发现。Descorchados记录了南美葡萄酒行业的脉搏,记录了永恒经典的进步,同时也记录了最新趋势、新兴地区和崭露头角的生产商。
A door that has reopened again with the release of the 2023-2024 edition of Dercorchados, now available for purchase in ebook format (through Amazon, Apple Books and Google Books). A title with a rightful, hard-earned place in any wine library. It compiles a wealth of knowledge but also invites exploration and discovery. Descorchados takes the pulse of the wine scene in South America, recording the progress of eternal classics while also making note of the latest trends, emerging regions and up-and-coming producers.
Tapia的年度成就已经能够描绘出葡萄酒国家从相对默默无闻到在国际舞台上站稳脚跟的令人兴奋的演变。更多的曝光也吸引了更多的投资、专业知识和对当地葡萄和风土的重新欣赏。Tapia说:“现在的葡萄酒明显趋向于更清新、更清淡、萃取更少、地方风土表达感更强的葡萄酒。他们也在努力生产更适合就餐的、更有特色的葡萄酒。另一方面,对不同葡萄品种的试验和对不同风土的(重新)发现也对葡萄酒的品质和特性产生了重大影响。”
Tapia's yearly achievement has been able to plot the exciting evolution of wine nations which from relative anonymity have firmly established themselves on the international stage. More exposure has also attracted more investment, expertise and the reappreciation of local grapes and terroirs. "There's been a clear evolution towards fresher, lighter wines, with less extraction and a stronger sense of place," says Tapia. "There's also been an effort to produce wines that are more food friendly and characterful. On the other hand, the experimentation with different grape varieties and the (re)discovery of different terroirs has also had a big impact on quality and character."
为了更好地捕捉南美葡萄酒行业的不断发展,Descorchados已经扩展了它的概念,现在也有一个网站,Tapia在这里分享报告、对酒庄的采访等等。
To better capture the ongoing evolution of the South American wine scene, Descorchados has since expanded its concept and is now also a website where Tapia shares reports, interviews with producers and much much more.
Descorchados的理念是对世界上一些醉令人兴奋的葡萄酒和风土的谦逊而又博学的探索,这些葡萄酒和风土仍然是许多葡萄酒爱好者所关注的。对于那些愿意进入Descorchados打开的世界的人,Tapia的首要建议是“品尝并愿意尝试那些可能不太明显的葡萄酒”。他列举了乌拉圭的Albariños、智利的Cariñenas(Carignan)、阿根廷高海拔的马尔贝克(Malbec)、阿根廷的Torrontés、巴西的起泡酒,以及秘鲁和玻利维亚的克里奥拉(criolla)品种酿造的葡萄酒,这些都是有待雕琢的珠宝。
The ethos of Descorchados is one of unpretentious yet knowledgeable exploration of some of the world’s most exciting wines and terroirs, which remain under the radar for many winelovers. For those willing to enter the universe opened by Descorchados, Tapia's first and foremost recommendation is 'to taste and be willing to try wines that might not be obvious.' He lists Albariños from Uruguay, Cariñenas (Carignan) from Chile, high-altitude Malbecs from Argentina, Argentinian Torrontés, sparkling wines from Brazil and wines produced from 'criolla" varieties that remain quasi untouched in Peru and Bolivia as some of the many jewels waiting to be "South America is a wine universe full of secrets and surprises. It's well worth discovering them."
