The wine region of Missouri
American Midwest vineyard, cradle of the first US AVA (Augusta, 1980, 8 months before Napa). Signature Norton/Cynthiana, the state's official grape and a native pride: dense, deeply coloured reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, plum, coffee, leather and spices, firm tannins - fleshy age-worthy wines, robust against the humid continental climate. Also off-dry Vidal Blanc (citrus, honey), fruity red Chambourcin, peppery Cabernet Franc, lively Seyval Blanc.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
