The wine region of Oklahoma
Southern US state with over 50 active wineries in Green Country (NE), Lincoln County and SW. Contrasted continental climate. ~80% vinifera (rare in the South): Cabernet Sauvignon is the firm, sun-loving signature (cassis, blackberry, cedar, tobacco), dense peppery Syrah, supple Merlot, round Chardonnay (yellow apple, butter). Flagship hybrids: aromatic Traminette white (apricot, peach, honey) and robust Chambourcin red (blackberry, plum, spices).
The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
