The wine region of North Carolina
Historic US southeastern wine state (top US producer before Prohibition). Yadkin Valley as the main quality zone: signature Cabernet Franc (red fruit, bell pepper, violet, fresh herbs, supple tannins). Also dense Petit Verdot, round Merlot, fruity Sangiovese. Chardonnay whites and rich Petit Manseng (apricot, honey).
The word of the wine: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
