Vignoles is what is called a hybrid grape. I was developed in the late 1920s by French grape scientist Jean Francois Ravat. Originally planted in the Cote D’Or region of Burgundy in France, it has thrived in Missouri and has become one of our state’s most versatile white grapes.
According to Missouriwinecountry.com, Vignoles are used to produce wines ranging in flavor from dry to a sweet, late harvest dessert wine.
Vignoles’ give off a floral aroma mixed with and fruity flavors of citrus, pineapple and apricot.
