The wine region of North Fork of Long Island
Maritime New York AVA between Long Island Sound and the Atlantic: signature Merlot as king red - supple and fruity with notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, leather and a fresh-herb touch, round tannins and an elegant finish (maritime Bordeaux climate). Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in structuring support. Fresh Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc in whites (citrus, apple, flowers). AVA (1986), ~2,000 ac, sandy-gravel soils from glacial moraines, ocean breezes preserving acidity.
The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
