August is all about Vignoles! As a versatile white grape and a Missouri favorite, Vignoles (veen-yole) shines. This hybrid grape makes wines across the spectrum, from dry and sweet, to late harvest and dessert wines. It can also be the go-to for a fantastic white wine blend.
This medium-bodied, crisp and flavorful wine will give you a taste of tropical fruits like pineapple, peach and apricot along with citrus and floral notes. A glass of Vignoles is the perfect summertime pairing!
Vignoles grapes are hardy enough to handle the Show Me State winters and are one of the earlier ripening grape varietals in the state. Vignoles crowd-pleasing capabilities and versatility make it an incredibly popular choice among the wine-buying public.
