The wine region of Grand River Valley
Federal AVA in northeast Ohio (Lake and Ashtabula counties, ~1,300 acres, >50% of Ohio production): Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc cool-climate signatures on the International Pinot Belt — fresh, structured profile with vibrant fruit and acidity preserved by Lake Erie's moderating influence. Vitis vinifera and hybrids (Vidal Blanc, Traminette) complementary. Glacial sandy, gravel and clay soils, northeast slopes.
The wine region of Ohio
Midwestern wine state tempered by the Great Lakes, a cool climate. Signature Grand River Valley Riesling: chiselled, precise whites with signature notes of citrus, white peach, green apple, white flowers and a mineral touch, crisp acidity — compared to the neighbouring Finger Lakes. Buttery Chardonnay, fine silky Pinot Noir, peppery-raspberry Cabernet Franc. Also sweet Vidal Blanc hybrids, Catawba, Concord.
The word of the wine: VDQS
Delimited wine of superior quality. A level of appellation (today, barely 1% of French production) which constitutes the ultimate step before the accession to the AOC.
