The wine region of North Carolina
Historic US southeastern wine state (top US producer before Prohibition).

Chardonnay whites and rich Petit Manseng (apricot, honey).
The word of the wine: Rootstock
American vine on which a French vine is grafted. This is the consequence of the phylloxera that destroyed the vineyard at the end of the 19th century: after much trial and error, it was discovered that the "pest" spared the roots of the American vines, and the technique became widespread.
