Also great age-worthy whites. Star of the Kamptal, Kremstal and Wachau DAC appellations; a strong expression of Austrian wine identity. French synonym for Grüner Veltliner, Austria's most planted emblematic white variety.

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: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
