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: Concentrator
A device that removes water from grape must by reverse osmosis or entropy system. Its proponents say that it is better to remove water than to add sugar to produce more alcohol. The improperly used concentrator can also exaggerate bad tastes or greenness of tannins.
