The wine region of Missouri
American Midwest vineyard, cradle of the first US AVA (Augusta, 1980, 8 months before Napa). Signature Norton/Cynthiana, the state's official grape and a native pride: dense, deeply coloured reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, plum, coffee, leather and spices, firm tannins - fleshy age-worthy wines, robust against the humid continental climate. Also off-dry Vidal Blanc (citrus, honey), fruity red Chambourcin, peppery Cabernet Franc, lively Seyval Blanc.
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
