The wine region of Maryland
East Coast US wine state with a marked Bordeaux profile. Star Cabernet Franc: fine, structured reds with signature notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, bell pepper, violet, fresh herbs and spice, supple tannins — a local success. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot and dense Petit Verdot in blends. Precise Chardonnay, aromatic Viognier and emerging saline Albarino whites.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
