山姆·尼尔（Sam Neill）希望您检查这个被低估的新西兰葡萄酒区亚搏电竞

When Sam Neill isn't making blockbusters like侏罗纪世界：统治或迷人的澳大利亚电影Rams, he's at home in New Zealand tending to his farm animals and his winery,两个围场。他的许多生物是命名在他的演员朋友和尼尔发布可爱的videos和他们在一起。酒是有机亚搏电竞和生物动力的produced from his four vineyards in New Zealand's Central Otago wine region. While there are some questionable celebrity wines and spirits out there, Two Paddocks, which Neill founded in 1993 around the same timeJurassic Park出来，是一家备受推崇的酿酒厂。亚搏电竞它也是世界上最南端的酿酒厂 - 最有可能是第二个南部的亚搏电竞酿酒厂。尼尔（Neill）听说智利有一个被认为位于他的南部的人，但是谁在计数？

New Zealand wine has changed a lot over the years, and I wanted to get Neill's take on it and learn more about Central Otago and the别针ot Noirhe makes there. I also just wanted to meet him, see how he's doing, and talk about movies. We recently chatted over Zoom while he ate his breakfast.

亚搏电竞食品与亚搏电竞葡萄酒：我觉得我们的很多读者可能不熟悉奥塔哥中部的葡萄酒。您的销售时间是什么？为什么有人要寻找这些葡萄酒？亚搏电竞

山姆·尼尔（Sam Neill）：First of all, there are only a few really special spots on the planet that can actually successfully grow Pinot Noir to a level of distinction, and Central Otago is one of them. There are two or three in New Zealand. There are two or three in Australia. In the States, it's Oregon, and then of course there's Burgundy. So it's with very few exceptions, that's almost it. We produce very bright, vivid Pinot Noirs.

If I was to talk to one of your readers I would say this: If you're looking at a Pinot Noir from the old world, you'll be paying three times more what you would pay for a similar quality from this part of the new world. How's that? That's not bad, is it?

那挺好的。因此，您已经在新西兰酿造了一段时间。亚搏电竞该国的葡萄酒行业有何变化？亚搏电竞

它发生了巨大变化。我不知道我的家人在葡萄酒和烈酒中享受亚搏电竞150年之类的东西。我是我家中第一个真正种葡萄酒的成员。亚搏电竞当我长大时，除了在大加仑的旗子中制造的强化葡萄酒之外，新西兰几乎没有葡萄酒。亚搏电竞称他们为雪利酒或港口将是一个夸张的事。他们只是甜蜜的东西。

然后在1970年代，餐酒开始逐渐增强动力。亚搏电竞新西兰的口味开始改变。就我们想吃的东西和想要喝的东西而言，我们变得更加精致。葡萄酒种亚搏电竞植者开始对此做出回应。实际上，改变游戏规则的人之一是他们发现他们可以种植长相思。

Unlike Pinot Noir, which takes a great deal of labor and needs to be hand-picked, Sauvignon Blanc can be produced commercially—and the world loved it. And that drew the attention of the wine-drinking world to New Zealand. And as a result, it became more possible to concentrate on high-quality wines, which is really the only thing I've been interested in. I had never wanted to produce anything that was just plunk. I wanted to produce the最好的葡萄亚搏电竞酒in the world, basically. And I think I'm getting pretty close.

当您刚开始时，您是否犯了您不会再犯的错误？

只有通过反复试验，您才能发现哪些克隆以及哪些在不同地方起作用Pinot。而且您永远无法正确预测这一点。特别是在这里的葡萄园中，在这里的拐角处，土壤每10米变化。因此，我们种植了我们并不完全满意的克隆，并用实际上是摇滚明星的克隆来代替它们。因此，这并不是说我会做任何不同的事情，因为我们知道我们会在继续学习的过程中学习。在这四个葡萄园中，我在裸露的土地上种植了三个。它与勃艮第不同。在同样的土地上有2,000或3，000年的葡萄种植了葡萄。他们已经弄清楚什么有效，什么无效。在这里，我们正在开拓。 But of course we're building on those 2,000 or 3,000 years, or 10,000 years, of agricultural knowledge.

What's the story with your vineyard almost being the southernmost in the world?

我的葡萄园之一被称为最后的机会，但詹西斯·罗宾逊（Jancis Robinson）说，智利向南几英里处。但是我选择不相信这一点。

既然您所有的葡萄酒都是有机和生亚搏电竞物动力的葡萄酒，那么您会用牛角做事吗？

我们使用了许多生物动力技术，但我们并未完全融入生物动力学。我们当然认为很多生物动力学都是有用的，尤其是在我们在葡萄藤上的准备中。土壤健康对我们非常重要。

I draw the line at thehorn at the full moon。那只是……角只是荒谬的。上帝保佑Steiner。He was pretty good at many things, but he wasn't actually a farmer. He was a philosopher, and he knew farmers, but he wasn't actually a farmer.

When you're not drinking your own wine, what have you been pouring this year?

我特别喜欢澳大利亚的设拉子。首选是Yalumba Signature Shiraz，或Penfolds bin389。这些都是可靠且令人惊讶的好葡萄酒，物有所值。亚搏电竞

What have you been cooking during the pandemic?

我不是一个很棒的厨师。我想我总是对烹饪放松的人感到惊讶和印象深刻。我认为这是最不放松的事情，因为它使我充满了焦虑。一切都必须同时准备。“哦，天哪，我忘了穿上它。那燃烧的气味是什么？”我在厨房里度过的时间越多，焦虑就会增加。

当您现场时，您的饮食习惯是什么？

我对电影制片人的建议是，如果您想要一个快乐的船员，而快乐的船员对制作好电影，实际上很有帮助，那么实际上是批评的。通常，我喜欢拍澳大利亚电影的原因之一是餐饮通常很棒。

Which of your films had the best catering?

I did a film calledRide Like a Girl。餐饮是惊人的。就饮酒而言，我在拍摄时不喝酒。没有电话。我喜欢周末放松一下。亚搏电竞当我们做的时候Rams例如，我们在那里的一个非常好的葡萄酒区，其中一些非常好的赤霞珠和澳大利亚西南部亚搏电竞的赤霞珠。

但是我对葡萄酒的恐惧，当人们被隔离和亚搏电竞锁定时，这在大流行中尤其重要，实际上是喝少的葡萄酒，但喝更好的葡萄酒。将多余的钱花在一个非常好的瓶子上。

您与很多动物演员一起工作Rams。Is that kind of a treat for you, because you're such a big animal lover?

They haven't necessarily been to drama school, nor have they seen a film crew before. You need patience. So it takes awhile for them to settle down. But we had some very nice sheep to work with on this. They reminded me of my own sheep, and the dog was good, too. I'm with my dog right now; she is asleep over there. Let me show you my dog.[Moves laptop to reveal a sleeping dog in the background.]

你的狗叫什么名字？

粗人。在新西兰被淘汰意味着非常高兴。她是一只非常快乐的狗。她精疲力尽。今天早上，她在整个农场都受到了伤害。她现在已经喂养了，而且很棒。

So you name your farm animals after actors. Is there an animal on your farm that's your favorite?

I've got three rams at the moment, but the star ram is Timothy Spall. He's a weird mixture of affection and aggression. He's fond of you when you're feeding him or scratching his head. But if you turn your back on him, he bucks you up the ass, which I don't take too kindly too. So I treat him with a certain amount of caution.

I feel like there should be a documentary about your farm and all the animals. Would you be open to that?

People ask that a lot, and not really.

更私密吗？

是的。
