看到尋俠堂有開橘酒品飲會，趕緊趁著忙碌期間的空擋來去參加，尤其又是Joshua老師上課，值回票價。

橘酒，let’s say it’s long skin contact white wine, 雖然不是我追隨的目標，但遇到好喝的，還是會珍惜，例如這次喝到的都覺得很棒～同時我也必須說，品種還是佔了很大的優勢，有些就是很適合，例如這次喝到的六款當中，其中四款品種比例很高的Malvasia di Candia Aromatica，這芳香型葡萄帶給酒款的風味非常豐富又複雜，不管是香氣或是口感，所以啊，對品種還是要稍稍認識一下，體驗起來更是有滋味。

1. Denavolo Catavela vino bianco 2021, 25% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortugo, 25% 當地品種，Piacenza area, Emilia-Romagna.   甜甜的香氣，好可愛喔，陳皮梅、八仙果、中藥店會給的梅花型酸梅糖的香氣，糖漬的甜美，但卻是dry的回甘口感，輕鬆喝，很舒服。
2. Costadilà Móz Vino Bianco Frizzante 2012, Glera, Moscato fior d’arancio. 此款工法是叫做Col Fondo, 刻意不除渣，回歸到1895年Veneto講究自然的風味及style，瓶中二次發酵的氣泡酒。覺得風味有點熟悉，原來就是moscato。
3. Denavolo Dinavolino Bianco 2021, 50% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortugo, 第一款的進階版，花香明顯許多，細緻優雅中帶點鮮美的感覺，柑橘、鼠尾草、微微礦石感，非常有趣又複雜的草本香氣，甜美感比較不明顯，也適合我這不是太少女的人類，最後還是帶了一隻這個回家 😛
4. Denavolo Mansano Vino Bianco 2012, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, 喝到這款的當下，有個很可以分享的moment, 覺得這不是我的菜，酒值很優，but not from my world，看了葡萄品種，果然！！！！哈哈哈哈哈真的是直覺，雖然這款喝起來完全不像是SB，草本的風味強烈，微微的香料感，要到吞下酒液後才有芭樂沾了甘草粉的香氣，盲飲必敗款吧～
5. Dinavolo vino bianco 2021, 50% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortuno, 當下覺得這應該是酒莊很代表性的酒款，根本就是把酒款1+酒款3，再放大各自的特色，就成了這款，柑橘、月桂葉、白花香、水果乾、草本，及尾韻的礦石感，難怪用上了這名字Dinavolo, 是村莊的古名。
6. 終於來到期待已久的La Stoppa Ageno 2020, 90% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 10% Ortugo and Trebbiano, 蜂蜜、水蜜桃、蜜桃等的甜甜香氣，加上草本、白花、野薑花、酸度很高，但卻沒有感覺的呼嚕呼嚕一直喝，有木質調性，口感比較偏向果味，味蕾上感覺很creamy。

Orange Wine Experience

Orange wine, let’s say it’s long skin contact white wine. Though it’s not my usual choice, when I encounter something delicious, I still cherish it. For example, all the ones I tasted this time were great! At the same time, I must say that grape variety plays a significant role. Sometimes you might not see its character that well, but it does show its magia. For instance, among the six I tried, four had a high proportion of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica. This aromatic grape variety brings such rich and complex flavors to the wines, whether in aroma or taste. So, understanding the grape variety a bit adds more depth to the experience.

• Denavolo Catavela vino bianco 2021, 25% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortugo, 25% local varieties, Piacenza area, Emilia-Romagna. Sweet aromas, quite adorable, like dried tangerine peel, loquats, and the scent of plum candy from a Chinese herbal shop. Sweetness like candied fruit, but with a dry, refreshing aftertaste. Very easy to drink and comfortable.
  
• Costadilà Móz Vino Bianco Frizzante 2012, Glera, Moscato fior d’arancio. This wine making method, known as Col Fondo, intentionally leaves the sediment, embracing the natural flavors and style dating back to 1895 in Veneto. Bottle-fermented sparkling wine. Found the flavors somewhat familiar – turned out to be Moscato.
  
• Denavolo Dinavolino Bianco 2021, 50% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortugo. An advanced version of the first one, with a more prominent floral scent. Delicate and elegant with hints of freshness, such as citrus, sage, and a faint mineral undertone. Very intriguing and complex herbal aroma. The sweetness is less obvious, suitable for someone like me, not quite a young girl. Ended up taking bottle home 😛.
  
• Denavolo Mansano Vino Bianco 2012, 100% Sauvignon Blanc. At the moment of tasting this, there was a noteworthy moment. I felt that it’s not my thing, though the quality is excellent. But not from my world. I looked at the grape variety and voila! Haha! Even though this one doesn’t taste like Sauvignon Blanc at all, the herbal flavors are intense, with a subtle hint of spices. You’d only get the guava mixed with licorice powder aroma after swallowing the liquid. A definite tricky one for a blind tasting.
  
• Dinavolo vino bianco 2021, 50% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortuno. Thought this was probably a very representative wine for the winery. It’s basically a combination of wine 1 + wine 3, magnifying their individual characteristics. It contains citrus, laurel leaf, white floral aromas, dried fruits, herbs, and a mineral finish. No wonder they used this name Dinavolo, an ancient name for the village.
  
• Finally, it arrived at the much-anticipated La Stoppa Ageno 2020, 90% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 10% Ortugo and Trebbiano. Sweet aromas of honey, nectarine, peach, combined with herbal, white floral, and wild ginger flower notes. High acidity, yet I didn’t feel overwhelmed while continuously sipping. It has a wood character, more inclined towards fruity flavors. Feels creamy on the palate.
