What is noble rot wine? what legend

When it comes to sweet wine, you sometimes hear "noble rot wine". What kind of wine is it? What is the story behind it?

Yuncang winery's brand LEESON red wine shared that noble rot wine is named after noble rot, which is a tiny fungus that grows on grape skins under certain conditions. This fungus needs sunlight and rain to produce it. It also depends on the effect of the wind to dry the vineyards, so as to prevent the "noble rot" from becoming "botrytis", which will produce unpleasant taste in the wine. Therefore, in order to meet the conditions of noble rot, the grapes for brewing noble rot wine need to be produced under specific microclimate conditions when the grapes are ripe and about to be picked, probably from September to November .

The most famous botrytized wine region is the Sauternes region in the south of Bordeaux, France, such as the delicious Botrytis Rouge.

Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine shares the magic of nature and quietly brings noble rot to the grapes. Two rivers with different temperatures converge into the valley to produce morning fog, which makes the vineyards have a humid environment. Then, the afternoon sun and wind blow away the fog in the vineyards, so that the grapes can continue to grow and adhere to the grape skins. The noble rot bacteria on the grapes will pierce the grape skin, so that the water in the grapes will evaporate, and the sugar and flavor substances will become more and more concentrated.

Noble rot is produced evenly on the grape skins at the same time, so it takes several weeks of hand-picking to select those grapes with noble rot one by one, so the yield is very rare, sometimes one tree Grapes on the vine that meet the criteria for noble rot can only produce one bottle of wine or less. These reasons lead to the relatively higher price of noble rot wine, but when tasting the unique and complex aroma of noble rot wine, most wine lovers will feel that it is worth the money. Natural aromas and complexities such as orange peel, honey, and flowers exude in the wine are not found in ice wine and other wines made from late-harvest grapes.

Noble rot wine is very suitable for roast duck and Sichuan cuisine, and the precious wine and Chinese food complement each other. The color of noble rot wine will become darker with aging, and the flavor will become more complex. Because it has the special bacteria of noble rot, it has formed a natural antioxidant function. After opening the bottle, it still tastes good after several days.
