Aug 28 - 30 : Folium Vineyard In-store Tasting
位於Marlborough Brancott Valley的Folium Vineyard走的是與眾不同的路，重點全在葡萄藤上🌱。日本釀酒師Takaki Okada將他的紐西蘭酒莊命名為Folium——拉丁文「葉」的意思，因為他用dry farming，葡萄藤需要特別賣力，根深深鑽進由古老冰川和河流打造的黏土土壤裡。與Marlborough幾乎所有仰賴灌溉的葡萄園不同，Folium選擇不灌溉，讓葡萄藤自己深入尋找水源。這些土壤恰好保留足夠的水分，讓葡萄藤保持平衡，釀出真正反映風土與年份特色的葡萄酒。
由於不使用灌溉，Folium的葡萄藤葉片較少，讓更多陽光照射到葡萄上。這讓Marlborough常見的那種草本、青澀味（Methoxypyrazines）少了不少，Folium的Sauvignon Blanc喝起來清爽又活潑，帶著絲滑的優雅，還有些法式精緻感，會令人聯想起Sancerre。他們的Pinot Noir🍇採用手工採收，以野生酵母在法國橡木桶中釀造，散發出紅果風味、泥土氣息和豐富帶咸的層次感。Folium的Chardonnay來自1996年種下的葡萄藤，帶著菠蘿、桃和柑橘香，呈現純粹、成熟與平衡的特色。
它們與你所知的Marlborough葡萄酒都不一樣！📆今個星期四至六（8月28-30日）歡迎到中環店體驗Folium Vineyard的葡萄酒！把握八折優惠呀！
Folium Vineyard in Marlborough’s Brancott Valley does things differently, and it’s all about the vines🌱. Japanese winemaker Takaki Okada named his NZ winery Folium—Latin for LEAF—because his dry-farmed vines do the hard work, digging deep into clay-based soils shaped by ancient glaciers and rivers. Unlike nearly every other vineyard in Marlborough that relies on irrigation, Folium skips it, pushing the vines’ roots deep to find water. These soils hold just enough moisture to balance the vines, crafting wines that truly capture their terroir and vintage.
Without irrigation, Folium’s vines grow fewer leaves, letting more sunlight reach the grapes. This reduces those grassy, green flavors (Methoxypyrazines) typical of Marlborough, giving Folium’s Sauvignon Blanc a crisp, vibrant, and silky elegance with a French-inspired finesse, that reminds you of Sancerre. Their Pinot Noir🍇, handpicked and crafted with wild yeast in French oak, bursts with juicy red fruit, earthy notes, and savory complexity. Folium’s Chardonnay, from vines planted in 1996, sings with bright stone fruit and citrus, showcasing the purity, perfect ripeness and balance.
These small-batch wines are unlike any Marlborough bottles you know. Come taste Folium’s wines at our Central shop this Thurs - Sat (Aug 28-30) 📆- drop by anytime!
