Description:
Jefferson Trophy - 2006 Jefferson Cup Invitational, MO. Nectar of the Gods! Some years, a perfect growing season produces extra ripe Vignoles (veen'yole) with complex botrytis like the great Sauternes of France. Careful selection of individual bunches results in a prized dessert wine with complex honey, peach and floral aromas and flavors that linger toward infinity on the palate. Comparable to German Beerenauslese or French Sauterne.

Varietal Definition
Vignole:
Commonly grown in the cooler regions of North America, this french-american hybrid used for making white dry, late-harvest and ice-wines has its origins in the Chardonnay grape. Currently very popular as a dessert wine because of its restrained fruitiness and good balance. Same as Ravat.
|
Sauterne:
Sauterne is an intentional misspelling of the name of the famed wine region Sauternes. The term is typically used on low-quality wines produced in the U.S. from native grapes. Completely unlike Sauternes, it can be either white or pink, and ranges from nearly dry to sweet.
