Po relacji obrazkowo-tekstowej kolej na słuchowisko, zapis znajdziecie poniżej tej strony. Matysiakowie odeszli już do lamusa, a w Jezioranach jakby też mniej się ostatnio działo, więc tym razem zapraszam do wysłuchania relacji z obrad komisji... Vinho Verde. Potem będzie tekstówka, dalej obrazki, a na koniec lista degustowanych win.

Ola Douro, ola verde!

Zaczynamy Jeziorany

Verde river

And the winner is...

Full monty

Vinho verde e branco

Rose, tinto, espumante?

Transparency international

Ora e labora

Teraz czas na słuchowisko Jeziorany, czyli jeszcze w zielone gramy, a Vinho Verde jak przyłóż do rany. Przedstawiciel komisji Vinho Verde speaking, prywatnie właściciel Soalheiro. Jest o Parkerze, o transparentności i nadużywaniu alkoholu. Ani słowa o raftingu!

Filtering
Not filtered wines are not allowed. Even if chemically wine is perfect and sensually is perfect, big quality wine, but not filtered, still we refuse it!

Laboratory
The lab is only one part of the service. The analytical and chemical service. We do service to other regions than VInho Verde in Portugal.
We have three departments. One controls the contacts with the clients. Like in the bank. One that knows all about you. Almost everything.

Labelling
Labelling is very important. Because we have special rules in European Union and we have to respect it. We control labels and wines.

Worldwide
For example in Brazil they have ideology of protection. We have to respect it.
In Poland we have only small problem, this small thing that we have to put on the bottle.
Canada controls all herbicides. In Germany they control very small things and we do not know why.

Philosophy
Of course it's minimum quality. Our pilosophy is not like journalists' philosophy. For a taster this is very good, this is better. For us what matters is where is a fault, whether it is enough.

Alcohol
Maximum is 11,5. And this comes from the minimum. And this we changed. But we want to communicate other styles of Vinho Verde.
There is one style of Vinho Verde like Gazella, Casal Garcia when we use carbonic gas.
Like Avesso, that is very good quality like Alvarinho, much more alcoholic. And then the limit is higher - 14.

Color
The most common unaccepted practices are related with with color. Closer to north of Europe where they have light color. But it's not common.
You are more interested in negative parts.

Controls
We make some controls that even the producers do not know. We control export markets. We control all steps.

Brand
If you have big brand like Vinho Verde you must be clear.

Transparency
When we change the layout of laboratory it's important to be transparent.
To be transparent, clear, our rules are in the website. We have other part for producers.

Journalists
Not journalist concept, not consumer concept. And then for example Robert Parker gives high note somebody complains you only gave me seven.

Q: Do you have many protests?
Three percent of refusal in samples and we do not have to many protests.

Q: What is proportion between analytical
Now very high proportion of european limits about 60%.
Analysis is like relationship with the clients.

Q: What can people do with rejected wines?
If it then it's easy - they can filter it. If we

Q: What is the most common unaccepted practice?
It's very rare. In white wines it's almost zero. In red wines it's more common.
