Discovering the wine region of Maryland

Maryland is an American state on the eastern seaboard, located between Virginia to the South and Pennsylvania to the North. It covers 32,000 km², from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains to the coastal plains of the eastern Part of the state. The Chesapeake Bay, a large inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, dominates Maryland's coastline, almost splitting the state in two. The range of grapes grown in Maryland is remarkably diverse - the result not only of the diverse Climate, but also of 350 years of experimentation by the state's winemakers.

Well-known vinifera grapes perform well here, with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as prime examples. Barbera has also made it from Piedmont in northwestern Italy to Piedmont in Maryland; it thrives in the Warmer regions alongside its warm climate partners, Sangiovese and Viognier. Seyval Blanc and Chambourcin hybrids are also grown. Maryland now has over 250 acres of vineyards and over 75 small wineries.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.

Wine lover: The climate needs you!

Kimberly Nicholas PhD (@KA_Nicholas) is a sustainability scientist at Lund University, and author of Under the Sky We Make: How to Be Human in a Warming World  Our 2020 research found that how fast we succeed at stopping warming will determine how much of the wine-growing regions and their characteristic varieties we love will remain in our lifetimes.  Changing to warmer-climate varieties can help limit losses, but there are limits to adaptation.  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ...

Aldo Fiordelli: ‘The east-facing vineyard absorbs the morning’s first sunlight’

I’m fortunate enough to taste a fair amount of fine wine each year and I have come to the conclusion that each of us is forced to build our own stylistic preferences, regardless of the appellation or classification of a wine. Instead of simply choosing a bottle of Bordeaux over Barolo, for example, most of us probably aim to drink each on the right occasion and, in doing so, carve out our individual preferences for these wines. My personal bias – which I must confess, to be fair and transp ...
