点评:Alta Orsa is a truly special, under-the-radar wine estate—a rare find. The kind you want to share with friends… and also keep to yourself. Family-owned and farmed, it’s rooted in holistic, regenerative practices. The 160-acre mountain property sits just five minutes from Hopland, yet feels a world away.
Enjoy minimal-intervention wines—ranging from sparkling and rosé to Pinot Noir and Cabernet—under a majestic cork tree, with sweeping views of the valley below.
Owner and winemaker Martin Hafner-Bernal is knowledgeable, charming, and welcoming—and he knows how to throw a proper gathering. Come for the wine, and stay for the asados: traditional Argentinian BBQs that turn into lively, memorable parties.
I was tempted to keep this discovery to myself, but did host a tasting for about 25 friends—all of whom had an incredible time (once they made it up the winding dirt road). Getting there, as it turns out, is part of the adventure!
翻译:阿尔塔奥尔萨酒庄 (Alta Orsa) 是一处真正特别、低调的葡萄酒庄园,实属难得一见。它既值得与朋友分享,又值得独自珍藏。酒庄由家族拥有和经营,秉承着整体性和再生性的理念。这片占地 160 英亩的山地庄园距离霍普兰 (Hopland) 仅五分钟车程,却仿佛置身于另一个世界。
在雄伟的软木树下,您可以品尝到各种极简主义酿造的葡萄酒——从起泡酒和桃红葡萄酒到黑皮诺和赤霞珠——同时饱览下方山谷的壮丽景色。
庄主兼酿酒师马丁·哈夫纳-伯纳尔 (Martin Hafner-Bernal) 博学多识、魅力十足、热情好客,而且他深谙如何举办一场完美的聚会。来这里品酒,更要体验阿根廷烤肉 (asados):传统的阿根廷烧烤会演变成热闹非凡、令人难忘的派对。
我原本想把这个好地方独自珍藏,但最终还是邀请了大约 25 位朋友来品酒——他们都度过了一段美好的时光(当然,前提是他们得先爬上那条蜿蜒的土路)。事实证明,到达目的地本身就是一次冒险!
