The wine region of New York
America's 3rd wine state by volume, striking diversity. Finger Lakes the signature: cool-climate Riesling, dry to off-dry, mineral and lively with notes of lime, apple, evolving petrol and white flowers — a US benchmark. Warmer Long Island for peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Hudson Valley (Seyval, Vidal).
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
