河北昌黎
意境示意圖 / Illustrative image
昌黎位於河北省東北部、秦皇島市西南部,地處北緯39度,瀕臨渤海、背靠燕山。燕山南坡阻擋北來寒流,渤海暖流增溫加濕,1月平均最低氣溫維持在零下8至9℃,極端最低約零下17℃;夏季降水集中於7至8月,入秋後乾爽、晝夜溫差大,葡萄可從容成熟。
碣石山與渤海之間的山前沖積扇以棕褐色沙壤土與礫石為主,土層疏鬆透氣又保水,pH值約5.40至6.07,呈弱酸性。1981年引入赤霞珠,其後陸續引進其他品種;1983年這裡釀出新中國第一瓶乾紅葡萄酒。
ENGLISH
Changli lies in north-east Hebei, south-west of Qinhuangdao, on the 39th parallel between the Bohai Sea and the Yanshan mountains. The southern Yanshan slopes block cold northern fronts while warm Bohai currents add heat and humidity, keeping January minimums around −8 to −9°C with extremes near −17°C. Rain falls mainly in July and August, after which autumn turns dry with wide day–night swings.
The alluvial fan below Mount Jieshi is dominated by brown sandy loam and gravel: loose and airy yet moisture-retentive, with a slightly acidic pH of about 5.40–6.07. Cabernet Sauvignon was introduced in 1981, followed by further varieties. In 1983 the region produced New China's first dry red wine.
