The wine region of Maine
North-eastern US state (New England), small and growing wine industry, harsh continental climate (−25°C in winter) requiring cold-hardy hybrids. Marquette is the flagship red (University of Minnesota programme): spicy with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, pepper, herbs and a smoky touch, fine tannins and vivid acidity. Dense Frontenac, lively Frontenac Blanc/Gris and Itasca in whites (citrus, pineapple, flowers). Speciality: fruit wines (blueberry, cranberry, apple).
The word of the wine: Juice
The juice of wine grapes (intended for wine making) is colourless. It is the anthocyanins contained in the grape skin that colour the juice during maceration.
