Discovering the wine region of West Virginia
Mountainous American state (Appalachians) with cold winters and humid summers, pioneer viticulture across three AVAs (Kanawha River Valley, Ohio River Valley, Shenandoah Valley). French hybrids and native varieties dominate: taut Seyval Blanc with citrus, semi-sweet floral Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin as the signature red with ruby cherry, blackberry, pepper and a smoky touch, supple tannins and fresh acidity. Bold Marechal Foch. Lively Riesling in the cooler eastern panhandle.
