Vintage, when it comes to wine, has a unique definition: it is not just a bottle of old classic or the use of a hat Guns and Roses and Van Hales (before Sammy Hagar) shirt. In wine, is defined as the vintage is made from a culture or a specific crop. A 1989 vintage Riesling, for example, consists of grapes - you guessed it - 1989. However, not all grapes used for wines of the year indicated. As a fruit with a false identification, grapes other years in creep this, however, depends on the country.
In the wine regions of Chile and South America, at least three quarters of vintage wine, for that year on the label. In Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the United States the rule is 85 percent. However, the U.S. has an exception for wines from a wine region of America as the Napa Valley, the Hamptons, and the Ohio River Valley. For wines of the regions designated AVA, 95 percent of the grapes must be of the same year to be considered vintage.
At the other end of the projection, the filled bottles grape, at least two years or more. Wines cannot be sued for age discrimination, no vintages winemakers produced by combining a variety of grapes, and create a style that is constant with each production.
While he was like "vintage" may be something in the head of wine, if they are (Cabernet) Franco about his greatness, there is a dispute about its importance. One source of conflict comes from the land of wine, or rather the climate of origin. Wines in colder climates such as Canada, Washington and Vermont, often place a higher value wines. This is because certain years may produce certain climates.
Particularly warm years in Washington, for example, another wine tasting year especially cold. If time both the taste of wine, and determines the quality, the harvest comes from the bank to play a necessary role. By contrast, in wine producing regions where the climate does not change, a vintage bottle of grape no vintage competition. Year after year, many of the wines to taste similar. But not always (wine) case.
Some wine producers, both hot and cold climates, wines labeled "vintage" only if they are of a superior and an excellent harvest. In these cases, the definition of vintage is more appropriate "to the Best of the best." This route is for the reputation of the word itself to save, because the term "vintage" is often thought synonymous special, not wine producers do not feel like any old bottle label. If that happened, we came to boxes sold as such.
Excellent wines are sometimes wines meant to be drunk quickly, like any crop of Beaujolais Nouveau, which is meant to be drunk within a few months after purchase (this is usually quite easy to reach for the wine lover). However, there are more wines to age. In very tannic varieties, wines that adhere to its reputation for aging gracefully, excellent play an essential role: the older the wine, the better the flavor.
When it comes to the harvest is not one thing clear: it is sometimes important, sometimes not. It depends on what kind of wine the wine lover seeker. Some people prefer vintage wines, some wines no vintage, and some people like me prefer not to all.
