The wine region of Colorado
Colorado is a state in the western United States, bordered by NewMexico to the South and Wyoming to the North. Colorado's vineyards are among the highest in the world, reaching altitudes of 2135 m in the Rocky Mountains. They rival even the famous Andean vineyards of Argentina. Grapes grown at this altitude produce wine with vibrant, intense colors and aromas created by the intense sunlight and cool nights.
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.
