Chapter 360 Wine Tasting

"Drink?" Ober, Devillan's voice became a little weird, "Drink it, drink it! After all, he can only be a legend. + Dingdian Novel," there seemed to be a hint of hatred in his voice. Undoubtedly, there was also a story among the three great gods of Baccarat.

"Since you like wine, then stay here. You are lucky. The vines here are finally enough to start making wine. So far, there have been only three years of production. You can try it or taste the hops. Since you have drunk my previous wine, you should be able to compare it."

The taster said happily: "That's really great, thank you for your generosity." He loved wine all his life and was able to taste the fine wine brewed by the legendary Baccarat. This was so wonderful. What made him even more excited was that Ober and Devillan were still alive.

"Gate, take them there, and then come back, I want to hear their opinions." Ober, Devillan, said lightly.

Gate made a gesture of invitation. After the taster, Lan Jue and the beggar saluted at the same time to the vines transformed by Ober and Devilland, he left under the leadership of Gate.

Everything I just experienced was too legendary for the three of them. The legendary Drc God of Baccarat was still alive, and he still lived in this way. Can humans really survive by transforming into plants? What's more, this Baccarat God still maintains strong strength. No wonder his dominant domain is the vine, and he even turned himself into a vine!

Under the leadership of Gate, they really entered the castle this time.

As soon as I entered the door, a strong smell of white oak came to my face. The inside of the castle was hollow and empty. There were only some huge wooden barrels. These wooden barrels were ten meters high and probably more than six meters in diameter. I don’t know what they were for.

"We have always used the most traditional biodynamics to make fine wines. Biodynamics means that we never use any mechanized production, everything depends on biodynamics. For example, when we turn over soil, we will use horses and cattle to pull the fence, and when picking grapes, we must choose hand-made grapes and only choose the best grapes for brewing."

"In order to restore all the seven traditional drc wines, we put a lot of effort into the soil and water them with the control of the water of Lingjing Lake. Although this does not come completely from nature, we have simulated the environment of the parent star Shangyuan era as much as possible. At present, all grapes produced in different plots have to be aged in oak barrels for 18 months or 24 months respectively. Unfortunately, there are no more old barrels now. The taste of oak barrels will have a great impact on the wine. The first three years of production are now bottled. The other two years are still aged in Mouton, namely hops."

Lan Jue said: "Then can we taste all the wines from these three vintages?"

Gate looked at him and nodded, "Yes. Since Lord Devilland agrees, it is OK. Please come with me."

Walking into the castle, the ancient stone steps appeared in front of them. The stone steps were rotating downwards. Gate walked in front, and others followed him and walked downwards.

While walking, Gate said: "The traditional wine cellar must be ten meters underground or deeper. The temperature must be kept at 12 to 15 degrees Celsius all year round, and it must also have a certain humidity. As time goes by, there will be dust and mold here, but all of this is part of the brewing of fine wine. Because everything has to start from scratch, it also requires accumulation. As early as the age of the parent star, there were wineries that had been passed down for thousands of years, and naturally there were old wines that had been passed down for thousands of years."

The wine taster asked, "Then do you drc have the old wine heritage you had?"

Gait nodded, "Of course there is."

The wine tasting expert said: "Is it also preserved with space technology?"

Gate shook his head and said, "No, Lord Devilland saved a complete wine cellar and brought it out. Everything in the wine cellar remains the same, but it is not here. The old wine there has never been moved, and I don't know whether they are still alive."

The most important thing to evaluate the status of a bottle of old wine is whether it is still alive.

The so-called living means that you can still drink wine. If it is a wine that cannot be drunk, it will generally be said to be old. Because it is stored improperly or the time is too long, the wine may get old.

After hearing Gate's words, Lan Jue and the taster's eyes couldn't help but lit up. There was even the wine that had been stored since the Shangyuan era? Moreover, without any space technology, even in the most demanding wine cellar, the possibility of living would be very small.

Just as they were thinking, they had arrived at the bottom of the stone steps, Gate pushed open the two wooden doors and took them in.

The world behind the wooden doors is first of all the rich white oak smell, and quaint stone pillars support the wine cellar. Looking around, rows of oak barrels are arranged neatly, each row is two layers, two barrels above and two barrels below, extending all the way to the distance.

"Because it's just started, there are currently more than 2,100 barrels of wine, with an average of about 700 barrels per year. The first year has just started to be bottled, while the third year has just entered the barrel."

The wine cellar is large, but there are many places inside that are still empty, obviously reserved for future winemaking.

Lan Jue couldn't help asking: "Mr. Gate, what are the future ways out of the wine you brewed?"

Gate glanced at him, "In the West League, we will sell these wines for us."

"Folksomething in the West?" Lan Jue's eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Gate did not continue the topic and continued to take them to visit the entire wine cellar. After walking down a circle, he brought a cylindrical barrel with a metal trumpet on it.

The beggar whispered to the wine taster beside him, "What is this?"

The wine taster said: "This is called a spit barrel, which is only available in the wine cellar. It is used by the wine tester and the bartender when tasting hops or making wine. After all, everyone's alcohol content is limited, and it is impossible to drink every wine. Therefore, after tasting, if you are worried about the amount of alcohol, you can spit it out in the spit barrel. But this refers to the wine you drink in your mouth. If you don't drink it into your mouth, it is allowed to pour back to Mouton. Cherish every drop of life water."

Gate looked at the taster with a smile, nodded to him, and handed the glasses to the three of them. Each hand was one.

"Start with the hops that have just been put into the barrel. Try hops, what you need is imagination. A good wine taster can taste whether this wine is really good by the taste of hops." As he said, Gate took out a long glass tube with a rubber hood at the end of the glass tube. If you look closely, you will find that there is a small hole at the bottom.

He walked to an oak barrel, pulled out a small white plug on it, then penetrated the glass tube into it, then pressed the small hole behind it, and pulled out the glass tube. Suddenly, a dark red wine was brought out. This was to use the principle of atmospheric pressure to get the wine.

Gate made some wine in the middle of each person's glass, and then send the remaining wine from the glass tube back to the barrel. Gate made a gesture of asking.

Lan Jue shook the wine glass and sent it to his nose to smell it. The smell was a bit weird. It was not the aroma, but a little sour smell, and some smell that did not dissipate.

He took a mouthful and finally, the first thing he felt was the sour taste and the taste of grapes. The so-called hops, especially such new hops, were more grape juice.

The sour taste mixed with the taste of grapes made Lan Jue, who was tasting for the first time, feel a little weird, but he swallowed it. The name written on the barrel was vivian, which is the St. Vivan in the drc, which is also a good wine! Unexpectedly, its hops actually tasted this way.

The sourness never fades for a long time, but the aroma gradually spreads out. There is no doubt that there is still a difference between hops and wine, and it is not that delicious, but it is definitely a novel experience. The taste of Blue Absolute Wine is very familiar with, but this is the first time hops, at least he does not have the imagination yet.

One barrel, one barrel of hops continued to taste, seven kinds of wines, and seven kinds of hops. Gradually, he tasted differently, especially when Romaniconti was at the end, Lan Jue's eyes couldn't help but release a light of surprise. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that the best wine is the best grape juice first!"

Gait nodded and said, "That's true. Just like the best champagne, it must be the best white wine, even without bubbles, it is equally charming. The reason is the same."

Lan Jue gave a thumbs up.

After tasting the initial hops, they were high-end hops that had been stored in wooden barrels for more than a year. The taste really changed. However, what they were looking forward to was the truly finished wine.

From the lowest vivian, the brick-red wine exudes an attractive fragrance, and the extremes of Pinot Noir are revealed one by one. Everyone drinks a glass of each, and the three of them are getting more and more excited. This can be seen from the brightness of their eyes.

Finally, after tasting the wine, the glass was returned to Gate.

The beggar frowned and shook his head gently.

"What's wrong?" Lan Jue asked him.

The beggar said: "Maybe because of the different tastes, Romani Conti is of course excellent, but also has strong penetration, as if it can penetrate into human cells, but this bottle of wine is a little young, and at the same time it seems to lack a feeling, not only does not have the explosion that Clohaba knows, but also some other things."
