Details and technical informations about Winery Hinterland Vineyards's Merlot.
Discover the grape variety: L'Acadie Blanc
Fresh, fruity dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with signature aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, white flowers and herbal notes. Also made as taut, refreshing traditional-method sparkling wines. Grown in Canada (Nova Scotia, Ontario) and the north-eastern United States, extremely cold-hardy. White hybrid grape obtained in 1953 by Ollie Bradt at the Ontario Horticultural Institute, a Cascade × Veeblanc cross.

The wine region of Santa Maria Valley
First AVA of Santa Barbara (1981) on an east-west valley swept by Pacific winds: signature Pinot Noir dominant as king red with herbaceous, savoury notes and lifted red fruits, fine acidity and silky tannins. Energetic Chardonnay with tropical and floral aromas, king whites (a third of production). Also Rhône Syrah and Viognier, confidential Grenache and Marsanne. Very cool climate over a long season, a Burgundian and northern-Rhône identity.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Amylic
Aroma reminiscent of banana, candy, and sometimes nail polish, particularly present in primeur wines. The amylic taste is reminiscent of the aromas of industrial confectionery and does not reflect a great expression of terroir.
