Discover the grape variety: Gold

Simple, dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet, rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, among the ancient grapes of heritage value whose commercial diffusion has virtually disappeared and which are studied for their genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented white grape grown in confidential quantities.

The wine region of Virginia

Quality pole of the American east coast, unique signature in Viognier: ample, fragrant whites with notes of apricot, white peach, honey and flowers, silky on the palate. Cabernet Franc star in red, fine and fresh (raspberry, ripe pepper, spices). Also dense Petit Verdot, round Merlot, balanced Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc and native Norton. Humid continental climate tempered by the Appalachians, 8 AVAs (Monticello, Shenandoah).

The word of the wine: Tanin

A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
