A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.

The wine region of South Carolina
Southeastern US state (Atlantic coast) with a hot, humid subtropical climate; wine industry dominated by native Muscadine and Scuppernong (Vitis rotundifolia) vines. Muscadine is the signature wine (white/rosé/red): sweet and fruity with intense banana, fresh grape, orange blossom and candy notes. The Upstate near the Blue Ridge grows vinifera: firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot, Chardonnay and floral Viognier. Fruit wines also produced.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
