The wine region of Lake Michigan Shore

Southwest Michigan AVA tempered by the lake (>90% of state vines), climate softened by lake effect. Riesling signature white: taut and aromatic with signature notes of white apple, peach, lemon, white flowers and mineral touch, lively long mouth — from dry to off-dry fragrant. Ample Chardonnay, fine silky Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), peppery Cabernet Franc. Also Chambourcin hybrid and native Concord.

The wine region of Michigan

Midwestern wine state on the 45th parallel (Burgundy, Piedmont), tempered by the Great Lakes (lake effect). Signature Riesling: precise, taut whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white peach, white flowers and saline minerality, crisp acidity - from dry to off-dry. Also ample Chardonnay, perfumed Pinot Gris, opulent Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose). Fresh, silky Pinot Noir in red.

The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation

Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
