The wine region of Wisconsin
Wine state of the northern American Midwest, harsh continental climate requiring cold-hardy hybrids. Signature Marquette in red: deep robe with signature notes of black cherry, plum, black pepper, cocoa and a herbaceous touch, firm tannins and lively acidity — bred for these extreme climates. Also spicy Maréchal Foch, Léon Millot. Aromatic whites: muscaty La Crescent (apricot, honey), fruity Brianna, vivid La Crosse, Saint Pepin.
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
