關於 THEO CATTIN 酒莊 :
Cattin 家族釀酒歷史悠久,在阿爾薩斯地區並不罕見。自1720年遷至當地以來,家族世代都持續投資於葡萄園和釀酒事業。目前掌舵的是年輕的夫妻檔雅克(Jacques)與安娜伊絲(Anaïs),他們已經以全新的現代化酒莊贏得矚目,並在距科爾馬(Colmar)以南10公里的沃格特林斯霍芬(Voegtlinshoffen)村落設立了酒吧、品酒區與會客空間,讓人可以俯瞰葡萄園的全景。和新一代釀酒人一樣,雅克和安娜伊絲具備開放的國際視野,能說流利英語,經常旅行,但同時也深深紮根於家鄉,積極支持當地的足球隊!和許多同輩一樣,他們也致力發掘風土特色,推出更多來自特定園區的新酒款,並藉由調配貴族品種並以更現代的包裝呈現,讓阿爾薩斯葡萄酒變得更親近大眾,豐富了原有的產品線。
阿爾薩斯混釀酒的名稱「Edelzwicker」或許聽起來有些復古,但越來越多的人開始認識到這些酒的優異品質。它們讓葡萄酒愛好者,尤其是首次嘗試阿爾薩斯葡萄酒的人,有機會品嚐這個產區的多種貴族品種——典型配方包括麗絲玲、蜜斯嘉、格烏茲塔明娜和灰皮諾。尤為重要的是,這類酒款非常適合現代風格的料理,而雅克和安娜伊絲正努力將這些美酒帶給全新的消費族群。
About THEO CATTIN :
The Cattin family have a long history of making wine, not unusual in Alsace, but from their arrival back in 1720, they have invested in vineyards and winemaking through generations. Currently at the helm is young husband and wife team Jacques and Anaïs and they have already made their mark with an impressive new winery, plus a wine bar and tasting and meeting space, with panoramic views over the vineyards in the village of Voegtlinshoffen 10km south of Colmar. Typical of the new generation taking over, Jacques and Anaïs are outward-looking and English-speaking and much travelled, but they are also deeply invested in their region and keen supporters of their local football team! Like many of their peers they are also exploring terroir with new site-specific wines and making Alsace more accessible by creating new blends of noble grapes and giving them a more modern presentation, alongside their existing comprehensive range. The name for Alsace blends – Edelzwicker – may seem a little old-fashioned but people are cottoning on to just how good these wines are. They offer wine lovers, and especially those new to Alsace wines, the opportunity to taste a mix of the noble grapes of the region – a classic blend of riesling, muscat, gewurztraminer and pinot gris. Perhaps crucially, they fit so well with modern-style cooking too and Jacques and Anaïs are doing a brilliant job of bringing these wines to a new audience.
