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: Tartar (deposit)
White, chalky deposits that occur as a result of precipitation inside bottles and are often considered by consumers as a defect. They are in fact tartaric salts formed by tartaric acid, potassium and calcium naturally present in the wine. This deposit does not alter the quality of the wine and can be eliminated by a simple decanting.
