The Vignoles grape is often called the “jewel of Missouri white wines” for good reason. Vignoles is a French-American hybrid grape that produces fresh tropical fruit wine flavors. With the Missouri summer, Vignoles is able to achieve its richest complexities. Jon Held, president of Stone Hill Winery, discusses the late season characteristics of Vignoles in the vineyard. Stone Hill Winery is the premier grower of American hybrid and American heritage grape varietals and wines such as Norton, Concord, Chambourcin, Vignoles, and Catawba.
