The wine region of Ohio River Valley Indiana
Indiana portion of the vast Ohio River Valley AVA (one of the oldest in the USA, 1983), in the temperate valleys of southern Indiana. Traminette — an aromatic hybrid — is the flagship white: lychee, rose, sweet spice and floral-spice notes, the state's emblematic grape. Chambourcin and Cabernet Franc are the signature reds: supple, red-fruited with a herbaceous touch. Vidal Blanc, Seyval Blanc and Chardonnay in support.
The wine region of Indiana

The word of the wine: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
