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: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
