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: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
