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: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
