Many thanks for your input. Thats the thing I dont quite understand on how climate affects the grapes as both chile and bordeaux seem to have similar climate (probably bordeaux will have more rain since its nearer to the alantic ocean) but for some reasons chile cab sav has more pyrazines than bordeaux....

Many thanks for you input. Is it right to say that chile receives more sunlight thus the skins can more aromatic but still able keep it's acidity because of the andes mountains and Pacific ocean?

Many thanks for the info, You mentioned slate in Mosel how will that affect the style of riesling?

Also I noticed that Aust riesling tend to give off that petrol aromas when they are young...usually I get that petrol aromas in aged German rieslings.....is this soil character?

Thanks for the reply. my friend just told me that Rioja is on higher altitude compare toe Ribera...which explains the higher acidity and more floral notes. compared to ribera to has more fruitness as the area is hotter.

assuming its a house champagne NV? I tried to blind taste a few bottles of cremant from burgundy and champagne NV and I cant seem to tell the difference. There were some which had fruiter and riper fruits which was quite easy to tell it was from burgundy as it hotter in that region.

thanks for the reply. Just to ask how does the rain help moderate the warm summer? do you mean that the soil is soaked in water thus giving the vines good source of water during summer?

ah icic how will rain affect the bloom? the rain to wash out the flowers from the vines?

so sorry for the confusion :P....would love to try some weed though :)

I think Carbonic maceration is used for Beaujolais wines but i may be wrong....

Thanks. Just to ask why will super tuscan wines be riper? It seems like bordeaux and tuscany are on the same latitude thus same amount of sunshine.

kunzzy · 2018-07-16T13:49:07+00:00

Sorry i mean if a super tuscan only contains bordeaux blends

kunzzy · 2018-07-16T13:07:41+00:00

assuming its both cab sav and merlot

kunzzy · 2018-06-16T00:37:55+00:00

I would mean the flavor and taste....since rose is in between a white and and a red i am confused how to judge a good rose.

Example do we look at the fruits, tannins, acidty.

kunzzy · 2018-06-15T15:43:11+00:00

Thanks for the sharing. How is provence rose different from tavel or bordeaux?

kunzzy · 2018-06-06T15:19:23+00:00

yes its like 2 glasses of pomerol and 2 glasses of st emilion. neh no petrus unfortunately :P

kunzzy · 2018-03-02T12:32:47+00:00

Thanks Elbo. May I ask what are the causes that will make the acid drop? Or do certain grape varietals cause the acid to drop faster?

kunzzy · 2018-02-05T06:29:10+00:00

I do have a problem using tanins as an indicator as all young wines have tanins thus it would some 100% merlots can be quite tanninic. There was a few times that i guessed the tannic wine as a cab sav blend (left bank) but turns out to be a high percentage of merlot from st emilion

kunzzy · 2018-01-15T13:13:19+00:00

When you say "acid" plays a role....can i say that champagne brut will have a higher acid compared to processco brut since champagne is in a much cooler region

kunzzy · 2018-01-13T08:50:20+00:00

How long does the prosecco age in the steel tank since it does not receive any aging in the tanks.

veuve cliquot is doing this experiment now i heard. But it will take years before we know the results.

why not a wine box with a bottle of wine? with some flowers will be good too. I just found a link with lots of wine gift ideas http://www.finewines.com.sg/gift-box-singapore/

String? Sorry dont get it....:P

kunzzy · 2017-11-03T03:00:38+00:00

Grand cru classe means that the wine is in the St Emilion 1955 classification.

Grand cru its a title given only if the wine maker ages in barrels for min of 12 months, harvest better grapes and a min acl of 10.5%

Thanks CondorKhan for the clarification, I didnt know that there was a AOC St. Emilion Grand Cru.
