智利葡萄酒之旅

羅平

智利對于中國人來說是一個遙遠而神秘的國度。除了安第斯山、復活節(jié)島等幾個有限的名詞，大多數(shù)中國人對它別無所知，而這也更加激起了中國游客的好奇心與一探究竟的強烈愿望。智利有多種多樣的風光和文化可以體驗，你可以徒步欣賞高山冰川，乘坐游輪游覽帕塔哥尼亞湖區(qū)，或是徜徉圣地亞哥感受西班牙文化，到復活節(jié)島與大石雕像親密接觸……除了多樣的自然風光及文化，智利的葡萄酒也是聞名世界。智利獨特的氣候，為其產(chǎn)出優(yōu)質(zhì)葡萄酒奠定了基礎，再加上歐洲古老的釀酒方法，使得釀制出智利葡萄酒既有歐洲傳統(tǒng)，又不失南美風味，給人一種新舊交疊的感覺，是智利葡萄酒的獨到之處。受智利葡萄酒組織Wine of Chile的邀請，我們踏上了為期八天的智利葡萄酒之旅，探訪了精彩紛呈的特色酒莊，更乘坐游輪前往帕塔哥尼亞湖區(qū)，登上著名的企鵝島與企鵝親密接觸，體驗了一個難忘的智利葡萄酒之旅。

With 4300 kilometers from north to south and 200 kilometers from east to west， Chile is the longest and narrowest country in the world. The towering Andes separate Chile from Bolivia and Argentina in the east， which forms a thin and narrow zone between Andean west piedmont and Pacific coast. As the narrow and long Chile territory stretches across 38 latitudes from north to south， its climate covers tropical climate in the northern desert， Mediterranean climate in the middle and frigid climate in the southern mountain glaciers. The unique climate and geographical conditions lay a good foundation for Chile to produce highquality wine.
