For example, the representative aroma of the wine produced in Porto Carras (Porto Carras) in Greece is cedar resin; the Guadalupe (Guadalupe) Valley in Baja California, Mexico is the aroma of lilac flowers; the Rioja production area in Spain is Licorice aroma (although local regulations stipulate that only a very low proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes can be used, but still You can feel the obviously different styles of aroma it brings); the Bay of Leon in France gives the wine the smell of brown algae; the Languedoc (Languedoc) production area in France has an obvious smell of fruit stems; Santiago, Chile ( The smoky flavor of the Cabernet Sauvignon wine produced in Santiago is very obvious; the Eger region of Hungary is characterized by the smell of charcoal and soot.
There are also wine regions in the world that are very similar in style to the Medoc region . However, most of the regions that use Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to make wine end up producing wine styles that are at odds with the classic Bordeaux style. Therefore, Cabernet Sauvignon variety wines from other production areas were once considered to have serious style defects and special flavors, such as green pepper, green olives, hay, creosote , etc., which are reminiscent of indole , now we should give them respect and understanding, and realize that although the Left Bank Medoc production area is the most famous typical style production area of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, it is not the only style. Therefore, it is now possible for botanical aromas to be present as part of the quality characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Although the typical aroma of the Merlot variety is also that of this type of plant, its intensity is lower than that of Cabernet Sauvignon. In any case, it is very necessary to identify the true identity of the grape variety before confirming its aroma style.
In recent years, when French grape growers and grape varieties experts visited vineyards in the Chile production area, they found that many vineyards labeled with the Merlot grape variety were actually planted with the Carmenere grape variety, and also It belongs to the Bordeaux grape category Carmenet, but in the Bordeaux region, this variety has disappeared for more than thirty years. Likewise, some places also confuse the Sauvignonasse grape variety with the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. The two are similar in appearance, but the former is not as refreshing and aromatic as the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Thank you for paying attention to Frontier Wine.
