The wine region of Ozark Mountain
Large American AVA (sixth-largest in the USA) spanning northwest Arkansas, southern Missouri and northeast Oklahoma, free-draining limestone soils mixed with sandstone and clay, humid continental climate. Norton is the signature red — deep and full-bodied with intense notes of blackberry, black cherry, plum and smoky-earthy hints, firm tannins, the official grape of Missouri. Vignoles is the signature off-dry white with tropical fruit. Hardy hybrids adapted to this demanding climate.
The wine region of Missouri
American Midwest vineyard, cradle of the first US AVA (Augusta, 1980, 8 months before Napa). Signature Norton/Cynthiana, the state's official grape and a native pride: dense, deeply coloured reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, plum, coffee, leather and spices, firm tannins - fleshy age-worthy wines, robust against the humid continental climate. Also off-dry Vidal Blanc (citrus, honey), fruity red Chambourcin, peppery Cabernet Franc, lively Seyval Blanc.
The word of the wine: Varietal
Said of wine aromas that are reminiscent of fresh grapes. The most demonstrative example is certainly that of wines made from the Muscat grape variety.
