The wine region of Maryland
East Coast US wine state with a marked Bordeaux profile. Star Cabernet Franc: fine, structured reds with signature notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, bell pepper, violet, fresh herbs and spice, supple tannins — a local success. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and dense Petit Verdot in blends. Precise Chardonnay, aromatic Viognier and emerging saline Albarino whites.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
