This blend is characterized by its moderate fruit intensity, offering delightful notes of red berries and subtle hints of spice, which create an inviting bouquet. Tannins are present but soft, providing just enough structure to support the wine without overwhelming it, making it a perfect choice for casual gatherings or cozy evenings by the fire.

Minnesota

Minnesota is a vibrant and resilient winegrowing region located in the Upper Midwest of the United States. Spanning vast prairies and crossing river valleys, Minnesota's emerging American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) encompass a diverse range of terroirs. The frigid winters and warm summers create a unique viticultural challenge, met by innovative grape breeding and cultivation techniques that ensure vines can withstand extreme conditions. This results in a slow, thorough ripening process, crucial for developing complex flavors. Vineyards flourish particularly in areas shielded by natural geographic features, where cooler microclimates allow for the production of delicate, aromatic wines, while more protected, sunlit areas produce bolder, heartier varieties.
