VIGNOLES
(veen-YOL)
Grown: Across
Pennsylvania
Vignoles is white hybrid grape with
a hazy origin story. Development
of the wine variety - originally
named Ravat 51 - was long credited
to J.F. Ravat, who crossed Seibel
6905 and a clone of Pinot Noir in
1930. The name " Vignoles " was
coined in 1970 by the Finger Lakes
Wine Growers Association. In a
study published in 2008, genetic
testing proved that what American
grape growers call Vignoles did not
share any major genetic markers
with its supposed parents and was
completely unrelated to the " Ravat
51 " grapevine imported to the
United States in 1949. So, the wine
variety's real origins are a mystery!
Fortunately, its charms as a wine
grape are less murky. The grape
buds late, which helps it avoid early
spring frosts. In addition, the fruit
has a thick skin, so it can remain on
the vine until November, producing
lovely ice wines. Those factors make
it incredibly successful in cooler
climates like Pennsylvania.
Naturally high in sugar and acid, this
dynamic grape can be made into a
wide variety of wine styles, from dry
to semi-sweet to dessert. The color
runs the gamut from pale straw to
golden to almost orange. Like other
cold-weather whites, these are highly
aromatic wines. When made in a dry
style, the grape tends to exude notes
of pineapple, peach, tea, and orange
blossom. When off-dry, it showcases
pineapple, honey, and grapefruit peel.
When semi-sweet, it recalls baked
pineapple, apricot, ripe apple, and
orange marmalade. Vignoles can also
be aged in oak, giving Chardonnay
lovers something to get excited about.

As mentioned above, the varietal is
increasingly popular as an ice wine,
a method where growers leave the
fruit on the vine late into the season
so it can shrivel and intensify in flavor.
Late-season Vignoles grapes produce
concentrated, honeyed juice with a
punch of sweetness and a backbone
of acidity for balance. When you grab
a bottle of this dessert wine, expect
notes of citrus, apricot, papaya, and,
of course, pineapple.
Deciding on a food pairing for
Vignoles depends on the sweetness
of the style. Wines on the sweeter
side complement bold flavors, such
as spicy Asian or Mexican dishes and
stinky cheeses like Stilton. Wines on
the dryer side - with their intriguing
floral aroma -boost subtle dishes
such as roasted salmon or nutty
alpine cheese. Late-season wines
made from Vignoles are a treat
alongside cheesecake or creme
brulee, turning a simple dessert
course into a symphony of sweet,
bright, complex, intense flavors.
