Lively, taut whites with a slender palate and fresh acidity, with aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers, pear and discreet herbal notes. Refreshing finish; best drunk young. A cold- and disease-resistant interspecific variety, it produces whites and sparkling wines in the UK (Kent, Sussex), Canada (Quebec, Ontario) and the northeastern US. French hybrid created by Bertille Seyve (Seyve-Villard 5-276).

The wine region of Lake Michigan Shore

Southwest Michigan AVA tempered by the lake (>90% of state vines), climate softened by lake effect. Riesling signature white: taut and aromatic with signature notes of white apple, peach, lemon, white flowers and mineral touch, lively long mouth — from dry to off-dry fragrant. Ample Chardonnay, fine silky Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), peppery Cabernet Franc. Also Chambourcin hybrid and native Concord.

The wine region of Michigan

Midwestern wine state on the 45th parallel (Burgundy, Piedmont), tempered by the Great Lakes (lake effect). Signature Riesling: precise, taut whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white peach, white flowers and saline minerality, crisp acidity - from dry to off-dry. Also ample Chardonnay, perfumed Pinot Gris, opulent Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose). Fresh, silky Pinot Noir in red.

The word of the wine: Oenologist

Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
