The wine region of Leelanau Peninsula
Michigan AVA on a peninsula between Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay (45 deg N, latitude of Bordeaux). Riesling reigns as a white star: taut and aromatic with signature notes of white apple, peach, lemon, white flowers and a mineral touch, lively and long palate — from dry to medium-sweet to ice wine. Ample Chardonnay, aromatic Gewurztraminer (lychee, rose). Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth) and Gamay emerging.
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: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
