VARIETAL INFORMATION: This shy-bearing Vignoles (veen' yole) grape has become the jewel of Missouri white wines. The difficult-to-grow variety achieves its richest complexities in the warm and sunny vineyards of Missouri. Our 2010 vintage was produced from a specially selected parcel of Vignoles in our Morre Vineyard and displays exceptional quality parameters. 1,440 cases produced.
TASTING INFORMATION: Vignoles (veen-yole) is Missouri’s premier white wine grape variety. This rich, full-bodied white wine displays lovely varietal aromas of pineapple, strawberry and lime. Although this wine contains a hint of sweetness, its natural vibrant acidity gives it a delightful, dry palate impression, making it the perfect wine to enjoy as an aperitif or paired with flavorful foods that might overwhelm a more delicate white.
