The wine region of West Virginia

West Virginia is a state in the eastern United States, located entirely within the Appalachian mountain range. The region's rugged and varied topography offers a wide range of terroirs within the state, and a range of vinifera, native and Hybrid Grapes can be found in the small number of vineyards. The best wines are produced from the Riesling grape, but Seyval Blanc, Marechal Foch and various fruit wines are also produced in the state. West Virginia covers a modest 24,250 square miles (62,750 km²), bordered by Pennsylvania and Ohio to the North and Virginia and Maryland to the east.

The word of the wine: Botrytis cinerea

This fungus, also called noble rot, develops during the over-ripening phase and is an ally of great sweet white wines, when it concentrates the juice of the berries. It requires the humidity of morning fogs and beautiful sunny days, gives musts very rich in sugar and brings to the wines the famous taste of "roasted".
