The wine region of Lake Erie Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania portion of the Lake Erie AVA (largest AVA east of the Rockies), climate tempered by the "lake effect" of Lake Erie extending the season, well-drained morainal soils. Concord as the signature native red (Vitis labrusca, planted since the 19th century): "foxy" and fruity with intense fresh grape, blackberry and jam, lively acidity — the backbone of the Concord Grape Belt's juices and sweet wines. Fragrant white Niagara, hybrids Vidal, Riesling and Chardonnay emerging.
The wine region of Pennsylvania
Historic East Coast vineyard (planted from 1683 by William Penn). Cabernet Franc as flagship: fresh, peppery reds with notes of raspberry, ripe bell pepper, violet and fresh herbs, supple tannins. Colourful, fruity Chambourcin hybrid (cherry, plum), off-dry Vidal Blanc with exotic fruit, aromatic Traminette (rose, lychee). Also mineral Riesling and Chardonnay.
The word of the wine: Harmonious
Balance of the different organoleptic elements of a wine. This harmony is linked to the typicity of each wine. The sweetness of a sweet wine is an element of its balance, whereas a Sancerre or a Chablis will be asked to be lively and dry.
