About the grape variety:
Vignoles (veen-yole) - With a delicate floral aroma, this white varietal has won many commercial and amateur winemaking contests.   Vignoles (Ravat 51) is a complex French-American hybrid wine grape variety produced from a cross made by J.F.Ravat of two grapes, Seibel 8654 and Pinot de corton.  Best grown in deep, loamy, medium wet, well-drained soils in full sun, this grape is widely grown in New York state’s Finger Lakes region, Virginia and in Missouri.  Vignoles make a wine with a sweet and flowery bouquet with a clean crisp sweet pineapple flavor balanced with agreeable acidity.  This is a white wine grape that is used to produce a variety of different wines from dry white to sweet dessert wines.  It is a woody, deciduous, tendril-climbing vine that grows well in Missouri.
