The wine region of Maryland
East Coast US wine state with a marked Bordeaux profile. Star Cabernet Franc: fine, structured reds with signature notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, bell pepper, violet, fresh herbs and spice, supple tannins — a local success. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and dense Petit Verdot in blends. Precise Chardonnay, aromatic Viognier and emerging saline Albarino whites.
The word of the wine: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
