Castell d' Encus Jhana 2018 (RP: 93)

西班牙傳奇隱世釀酒師Raul Bobet在Castell d'Encus酒莊第一款推出市面的Bordeaux Blend, 70年代便是他釀造Torres Mas La Plana, 打敗了五大酒莊。離開Torres後，很難再遇到手執在西班牙能打造世界一流Cabernet Merlot Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot鑰匙的人，Raul在西班牙至今仍是德高望重的神級人物。

"Jhana"原意是一種冥想方式。此酒之所以命名，是因為在比利牛斯山脈地區，人們享受著沉思和自然，這有助於冥想。
釀造Rosé葡萄酒的概念始於想要將Rosé葡萄酒發展至最完整，強調像陳年白葡萄酒一樣的陳年潛力。Rosé葡萄酒最近因使用工業性高產量的葡萄園和整個壓榨發酵過程而聲譽不佳。Jhana挑戰這種看法，保持單寧和精細之間的平衡。Jhana用野生酵母發酵後，在細酒糟中陳釀五個月，以增加風味。

Raul Bobet’s groundbreaking wines from the Pyrenees subzone of the Costers del Segre appellation, are produced in the village of Talarn at 1,000 meters altitude. The wines are named with Sanskrit words or after the places where grapes are grown. Nowadays most of the wines are fermented in the 12th century stone lagares from the property. It has to be seen to be believed. However, the process is not the most important thing, what is really important is that the results are superb. These are some of the most exciting new wines throughout Spain. And Bobet, the ex-Torres enquiring mind, is also responsible for the breathtaking Priorats from the Ferrer-Bobet winery, his joint venture with entrepreneur and wine lover Sergi Ferrer-Salat.

Jhana refers to a type of meditation. Its name is given because in our Pyrenees area silence and nature are enjoyed, which are conductive to meditation.
The concept of making a Rosé wine starts from wanting to dignify this type of wine to the fullest, emphasizing as in the great white wines, its aging potential. Rosé wines have recently suffered from a poor reputation due to the use of industrial high-yield vineyards and fermentation of the entire pressing, including the saignee fractions. Jhana challenges this perception, maintaining the equilibrium between tannins and finesse. Fermented with wild yeasts, Jhana is aged on fine lees for five months to provide a signature complexity.
