The wine region of Fennville
Pioneer Michigan AVA (1981, same year as Napa, 3rd American AVA, within Lake Michigan Shore AVA, sandy well-drained soils, lake-effect moderation delaying budbreak by up to 10°F). Cabernet Franc and Riesling are the emerging flagship varieties — Cabernet Franc as a fruity red with red berries and herbal hints, Riesling as a taut white with citrus and stone fruit. Pinot Noir, Blaufränkisch, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer as cool-climate complements.
The wine region of Michigan
Midwestern wine state on the 45th parallel (Burgundy, Piedmont), tempered by the Great Lakes (lake effect). Signature Riesling: precise, taut whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white peach, white flowers and saline minerality, crisp acidity - from dry to off-dry. Also ample Chardonnay, perfumed Pinot Gris, opulent Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose). Fresh, silky Pinot Noir in red.
The word of the wine: Aging on lees
Maturing on the lees enhances the stability, aromatic complexity and texture of white wines, which gain in body and volume. This phenomenon is induced by autolysis, the process of self-degradation of the lees.
