Trophies awarded to 122 IWC wines HARPERS, UK 24.06.09: A record 122 wines have been awarded Trophy status at this year's International Wine Challenge. France came top of the country board, with 21 wines being awarded a Trophy, followed by Australia (15) in second place and in joint third Italy and Japan (12). A record eight wines from Chile were promoted to Trophy status. The Camel Valley Bacchus 2007 won the English Trophy. IWC director Andrew Reed said: "The Trophies are awarded for region, variety or style or a combination of all three. It's a fantastic achievement for a wine to be elevated to Trophy status acknowledging their unrivalled balance, complexity and personality."… http://www.harpers.co.uk/news/news-headlines/8135-trophies-awarded-to-122-iwc- wines.html On the bottle: rioja THE TIMES, UK 21.06.09: … Daddy is long gone now. Miguel Jr has taken the company to great heights. His wines can cost more than £50 a bottle, but the basic range is tasty, reliable and cheap. Torres has a strong presence in Chile and even a joint venture in China. It has taken a long time, however, to do something seemingly obvious much closer to home. In the days when rioja was the only Spanish wine region most British drinkers could name, Don Miguel was emphatically different. His wines were bolder and his vineyards near Barcelona were 200 miles from the Rioja region. But Mireia, his granddaughter, is now the company’s technical director, and she has made the first Torres rioja. It’s called Ibericos and has some typically flowery nonsense on the bottle about Spanish oaks. What’s important is the stuff inside, which is delicious. Rioja used to mean a thin red infused with vanilla from spending too long in American oak barrels. That old, attenuated style — just about drinkable with salty jamon serrano — barely survives. Modern rioja has texture. Ibericos has the old vanilla overtones but is a wine of substance with a spicy nose and fresh, plummy, meaty flavours. At the moment only Waitrose sells it. Old Señor Torres had an odd distaste for supermarkets and perhaps that snobbery lives on. But there’s nothing upmarket about the price: £8.99. For this quality, it’s a bargain. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/wine/article6510025.ece Critical Publics | EDOAO Page 4 of 31 Global Wine Trends 26/06/2009 Weekly Update Sauce: easy-drinking white wines for summer THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, UK 26.06.09: The annual search for the perfect 'house’ white has yielded good results this year. I’m not talking restaurant house wines here (an outdated concept, anyway), but literally a wine for your household – the kind of delicious, good-value bottle to buy in some quantity and keep, chilled in the fridge, ready to open on a whim over the next few weeks. The best styles are easy-going, well-balanced, unoaked whites. Avoid anything 'difficult’: spiky, sour acid; sweet tropical fruit; weird over-dominant flavours. I’m all for a bit of character, and love, say, a syrupy rose-scented gewürztraminer at the right moment, but it will never make a good house white. Even much-loved New Zealand sauvignon blanc can be too strong, too sweet ’n’ sour, for everyday hot-weather quaffing. Instead, I’ve turned to fairly straightforward, elegant European whites. A fine dry Italian or Spanish white is a versatile partner for lighter summer food, not only the obvious fish, seafood and salad, but tomato, goat’s cheese and peppery charcuterie as well. And a modern label from a newly serious white-wine region such as Rueda in Spain, or Sicily, promises a much better glassful than it did five years ago. Cool-temperature winemaking (keeping the grapes and the juice cold to preserve fruit character) has almost put paid to dull, oxidised whites. … http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/wine/5639243/Sauce-easy-drinking-white-wines- for-summer.html Is sauvignon blanc in danger of becoming like Chardonnay? THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, UK 26.05.09: I had a glorious glass of New Zealand sauvignon blanc yesterday, except that it came from South Africa. It was crammed with ripe tropical fruit flavours, grass, gooseberries, nettles, cat's pee, the lot. It was full-bodied and rounded, yet crisp and zesty and deliciously succulent. Now I adore New Zealand sauvignons and I adored this, but it just didn't seem right. I want my South African sauvignons to taste as if they come from South Africa, not New Zealand. Formerly inimitable, Kiwi 'savvy' is now apparently very imitable. Even E&J Gallo from California is now making the stuff (in New Zealand, I might add, but bottled in California). Their 2008 Starborough Marlborough sauvignon has just arrived

  • Climate and Wine: Quality Issues in a Warmer World Gregory V. Jones
    Climate and Wine: Quality Issues in a Warmer World Gregory V. Jones Department of Geography, Southern Oregon University Michael A. White Department of Aquatic, Watershed, and Earth Resources Utah State University Owen R. Cooper Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) University of Colorado/NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory Karl Storchmann Department of Economics, Yale University Abstract Climate change has the potential to greatly impact nearly every form of agriculture. History has shown that the narrow climatic zones for growing grapes for high quality wines are especially prone to variations in climate and long-term climate change. This analysis has detailed climate changes from 1950 to 1999 for arguably the world’s highest quality wine-producing regions showing that the majority of the regions experienced warming trends during their respective growing seasons at the same time that vintage ratings increased significantly while year-to-year variation declined. The results find that climate is a more important factor in vintage ratings in Europe, while many New World regions have seen significant advances in production technology or recognition in their vintage ratings that mask climatic variations. For some regions, an optimum temperature-vintage rating was modeled indicating that many regions are at or near their ideal climate. While the observed warming of the last fifty years appears to have mostly benefited the quality of wine grown worldwide, the average predicted regional warming of 2°C in the next 50 years (2000-2049) has numerous potential impacts including – changes in grapevine phenological timing, disruption of balanced composition in grapes and wine, alterations in varieties grown, alterations in regional wine styles, and spatial changes in viable grape growing regions.

  • The Country's Northernmost Winemaking Region, to Be Exact. In
    Bin Bottle Champagne Champagne is a region in France – the country’s northernmost winemaking region, to be exact. In the Champagne region, the growing season is shorter; thus, the grapes are picked with higher acidity than in most other regions, which is one of the reasons for Champagne’s distinct taste. Three grapes can be used to produce Champagne: Pinot Noir (red), Pinot Meunier (red), and Chardonnay (white). In France, only sparkling wines that come from the region of Champagne may be called “Champagne.” Some American producers have borrowed the name “Champagne” to put on the label of their sparkling wines. These cannot and should not be compared with Champagne from France. Champagnes are classified according to sweetness/dryness: Brut – driest; Extra dry – less dry; Sec – more sweet; and Demi sec – sweetest.
