[E] Wines from Portugal #2 with Charles Metcalfe

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:28:03 GMT

http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine_tours.htm --- PART 2 of the interview with Charles Metcalfe, who can be called the guru on Portuguese wines: on the excellent wine and food in Portugal today. Is Portugal perhaps a New World wine country (with all the new technology and new knowledge)? Charles says perhaps, but perhaps not. It is maybe more a question of rediscovery of the old world. Portugal has also benefited enormously benefited from infrastructure investments financed by the European community. What about the prospects for the Portuguese to market and sell their wines with these local and unknown grape varieties on the international market? Are Portuguese grape names the future? Perhaps for arinto, touriga nacional, and maybe on or two others. Otherwise it is probably more important to emphasise the brand. But it can be very small “brands” e.g. Quinta do Crasto or Quinta de la Rosa to take two examples from the Douro Valley. Brands and branding is probably the way to go rather than the grape varieties, says Charles. We must also mention the book The Wine and Food Lover’s Guide to Portugal: A monumental book on Portugal, its food, the wineries and places to visits, hotels to stay in etc. A travel guide for people who love eating and drinking. By Charles Metcalfe and Kathryn McWhirter of course. This interview was made at the European Wine Bloggers Conference #EWBC 2009 in Lisbon: http://winebloggersconference.org/europe/ On the book: http://www.innhousepublishing.com/ Charles’ blog, The wine singer: http://thewinesinger.blog.co.uk/ More on Charles: http://www.wineeducators.com/charles_metcalfe.html Music: Kaleidoscope, Sol e dad, http://www.jamendo.com By BKWine, http://www.bkwine.com.

[E] Wines from Portugal #1 with Charles Metcalfe

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:32:00 GMT

http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine_tours.htm --- PART 1 of the interview with Charles Metcalfe, who can be called the guru on Portuguese wines: on the excellent wine and food in Portugal today. Charles also talks about the recent history of Portuguese wines. 20 years ago, when Charles and his wife Kathryn wrote their first book about Portuguese wines, there used to be only a small number of producers. Today there is a large variety and large number of a young generation of winemakers in Portugal. The old image of rustic reds and oxidised whites is now history. The new generation winemakers make wonderful wines. Today there is so much more knowledge on how to make high quality wines. There is a vast variety of Portuguese grape varieties that give wines of characters and flavours that are unique. Some examples: Vinho Verde with aromatic grape varieties such as loureiro; Douro, not just red but also whites; Bucelas with e.g. arinto; etc. One of the big surprises with Portuguese wines for many people is that there are many excellent fresh and aromatic white wines from grapes such as bical, sercial, and arinto. Is Portugal perhaps a New World wine country (with all the new technology and new knowledge)? Charles says perhaps, but perhaps not. It is maybe more a question of rediscovery of the old world. Portugal has also benefited enormously benefited from infrastructure investments financed by the European community. What about the prospects for the Portuguese to market and sell their wines with these local and unknown grape varieties on the international market? Are Portuguese grape names the future?

[E] Niepoort Douro #2, Luis Seabra, winemaker

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 21:18:00 GMT

http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine_tours.htm --- Interview (Part 2) with Luis Seabra responsible for the vineyards and the winemaking; the Niepoort winemaker. We’re sitting at the brand new winery in the Tedo river valley, overlooking the terraced vineyards along the river and the Douro region impressively steep slopes. We are talking about the red wines and about the future of the Douro wines. Niepoort’s four main red wines are Vertente Tinto, Batuta, Redoma and Charme. They also make a new-old red wine called Robustus that is made in an old-fashioned style aged longer in wooden barrel. Luis Seabra is clearly someone who likes to experiment with different wines, different grapes and different vineyards. There is plenty to material to choose from: there are 40,000 hectares of vineyards, 100 different grape varieties for the reds and 80 different grape varieties for the whites. So, what will happen in the ten coming years? Luis thinks it is the great challenge of the Douro! For example improving the quality of the wines, but also in quantity, producing wines both of quality and in quantity; perhaps not always going the easy way. Louis speculates in the future strategy and emphasises that the key is to keep true to the origin of the vineyards, while at the same time avoiding doing too much work in the wine cellar: the wines must be allowed to express their origin, soil and grape material. We also draw some parallels with Priorat in Spain and learn some lessons from their mistakes. And one should not forget the port wines in the Douro; Niepoort is above all a port wine company and without the port wines the Douro would not be the same. Do not miss Part 1 of the interview where we talk about the white wines and about the style of winemaking at Niepoort.

[E] Niepoort Douro #1, Luis Seabra, winemaker

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 22:13:01 GMT

http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine_tours.htm --- Interview with Luis Seabra responsible for the vineyards and the winemaking; the Niepoort winemaker. We’re sitting at the brand new winery in the Tedo river valley, overlooking the terraced vineyards along the river and the Douro region impressively steep slopes. The new winery was opened in 2007 and it has allowed them to do the winemaking the way they really would like to do it - with the time and space they want. They can for example work entirely by gravity. Luis talks about the style of the Niepoort wines, often understated. The ambition is not to make big and impressive wines but to make balanced wines that go well with food. Niepoort is often lighter, fresher and more balanced wines than many others, wines where you want to finish the bottle to the end. They make a wide range of different wines, white, red and port wines. The whites includes Tiara, a stainless steel fermented wine from very old vineyards, a bit riesling inspired, also left for a long time in vat with some reductive character; Redoma and Redoma Reserve, both fermented in barrel, which are unfortunately often drunk far too young. They are loft for quite long time on the lees. Do not miss Part 2 of the interview where we will talk about the red wines and about the future of the Douro Valley wines.

[E] Fattoria Poggerino (#2) in Chianti, biodynamism with Piero Lanza

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 09:22:00 GMT

Part 2 of the interview with Piero Lanza, co-owner (together with his sister) and winemaker at Fattoria Poggerino, Radda in Chianti. In part 2 Piero explains what it means to be a biodynamic winery. Piero explains how he farms his vineyard with biodynamic principles, how he works with preparations and how he started with organic viticulture and then moved further to biodynamism. Biodynamic farming is focused on the ground, the soil. They use for example the 500 treatment, which is based on cow manure prepared and matured under ground in cow horns. It is used to prepare treatments to spray on the vineyards. Before spraying the preparations have to be 'dynamised' in a 'dynamiser'. The biodynamic treatments increase the energy and the humus in the ground. It helps the vineyard to survive in extreme climate and weather conditions. They also use 501 which is based on quartz powder which helps the plants, the leaves, to capture the sunshine. It can also help close to harvest time if there are poor and wet conditions. During the growing season they also use herb preparations to help the vines grow. They use a well known biodynamic consultant from Burgundy called Pierre Masson.
