Rockbridge Vignoles

Bottle Label for
Rockbridge Vignoles
Rockbridge
Vignoles
Varietal: Vignoles
Virginia, USA

(Semi-Dry) Taste is reminiscent of tropical fruit and green apples. Made from the french-american hybrid Vignoles grape.  (winecompass.com)

This was an excellent wine from the start.  It was bright and fruity with lots of light aromatics to it. There was a crispness to it that reminded me of green apples.  There were also hints of pineapple and strangely I think banana as well.  That was something I was 
not expecting.  It was pleasantly full of fruity sweetness and nice 
acidity to balance out the sweetness.  It was crisp and light with a
 bit of dryness to it but it stuck with you for a little bit in a good way. 
 I didn't get any heat on it at any point.  This was a great wine to try
 and it was from a great winery here in Virginia.  I had a chance
 to stop by it on a trip home.  Great people, great wine, and great
 prices!  I even asked them about the prices and they said that they
 believed that wine (good wine at that) should be accessible to
 everyone so they aim to keep their prices very very reasonable
 in my opinion.
