The wine region of Pennsylvania
Historic East Coast vineyard (planted from 1683 by William Penn). Cabernet Franc as flagship: fresh, peppery reds with notes of raspberry, ripe bell pepper, violet and fresh herbs, supple tannins. Colourful, fruity Chambourcin hybrid (cherry, plum), off-dry Vidal Blanc with exotic fruit, aromatic Traminette (rose, lychee). Also mineral Riesling and Chardonnay.
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.
