Biodynamic Wine

是夜參加了 Biodynamic Wine VS Organic Wine tasting event
Understand how biodynamic viticulture is like.

Fungicide, Insecticide, Pesticide, Herbicide, Fertilizer ( Fungicide will ONLY be used in Biodynamic Viticulture)

Ch. Pontet Canet certified as Biodynamic GCC in Bordeaux. Year 2007 was poor vintage with heavy rain.

soil pH value below 5 not good for growth

100% Organic USA wine means not using SO2 whilst EU organic wine just use organic viticulture

Understand how 500 serial material for Biodynamic Viticulture, very ugly and weird method
500 - Horn Manure 牛角 filled with 牛屎
501 - Horn Silica 牛角 filled with 石英粉
502 - Yarrow
503 - Chamomile
504 - Stinging Nettle
505 - Oak Bark
506 - Dandelion
507 - Valerian
508 - Horsetail 鼠尾草 (not quite effective)

而我地成日話有 Mineral Aroma, 其實係指 Mercaptans (Mineral) means Gun Powder, Flinty, Sulfur with Yeast Chemical Reaction.

Yeast strain reduced by SO2
SO2 with Oak chemical reaction to create coffee aroma....


- Tannin felt by Gum : come from Grape Skin and Seed
- Tannin felt by Tongue : come from New Oak
- Fertile Soil, More Herbaceous
- Temperature Over 35 deg C, stop Photosynthesis

Minerality related to Stone, Flint, Smoky, Chalky (Typically region from Chablis, Sancerre, Wachau, Mosel, Priorat)

StoneSoil + Acid + Cool Climate - Ester (Fruity) - Oxygen = Mineral

SS + A + C - E - O2 = Mineral
