Discovering the wine region of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a state in the northeastern United States. It covers 119,000 km² (46,000 square miles) between Lake Erie and the Atlantic coast. Pennsylvania wines are produced from a variety of native Grape varieties such as Delaware, French-American hybrids such as Chambourcin and Seyval Blanc, and well-known vinifera varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. With about 14,000 acres (5665ha) of vineyards, Pennsylvania is one of the most prolific wine-growing states in the country, along with New York, Washington and Oregon (none of these states match California's production, which accounts for about 90 percent of U.

S. wine production). ) Much of Pennsylvania's vineyards produce raisins and table grapes. As a result, the state ranks only seventh in terms of wine production.

However, the wine industry is growing rapidly; there were fewer than 30 wineries in 1980.

Discover the grape variety: Pinot gris

Pinot Gris is a grey grape variety mutated from Pinot Noir. It has its origins in Burgundy, where it is called pinot-beurot in reference to the colour of the grey robes worn by the monks of the region. Established in Alsace since the 17th century, pinot gris was called tokay until 2007. It is made up of bunches of small berries that vary in colour from pink to blue-grey. It is particularly well suited to the continental climate because it is resistant to the cold in winter and to spring frosts. This variety also likes dry limestone soils with plenty of sunshine in the summer. Pinot Gris is well suited to late harvesting or to the selection of noble grapes, depending on the year and the concentration of sugars in the berries. Pinot Gris wines are distinguished by their aromatic complexity of white fruits, mushrooms, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., and their great finesse. In the Loire Valley, pinot gris is used in the Coteaux-d'Ancenis appellations. It gives dry or sweet wines with pear and peach aromas.
