The wine region of New Mexico
Wine state of the American Southwest, the oldest in the USA (vines from 1629). World specialty: signature traditional-method sparklings (pioneer house Gruet) with signature notes of green apple, brioche, citrus, white flowers and a hazelnut touch, fine taut bubbles. Also sun-drenched high-altitude reds: dense Cabernet Sauvignon (cassis, cedar), jammy Zinfandel, spicy peppery Syrah. High-altitude desert vineyards with strong diurnal swings.
The word of the wine: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
