2022 Vignoles
You are among the first to try the 2022 Vignoles, as this white wine was bottled on March 2, 2023. The semi-sweet dessert wine features notes of bright citrus, passionfruit, and pineapple, and it captures you with that citrus flavor on the front end and smooths its way down with a well-balanced finish. This is the perfect wine for bringing out the grill on the first warm day after a long, cold winter. Sunshine, grillin’ and Vignoles. That’s a mighty trio.

Blueberry Bubbly Moscato
Farm Fresh wines feature all-natural fruit with no additives, flavoring, or artificial coloring.

It’s the ideal wine for a day out on the lake or a girls’ night in with a new episode of The Bachelor on.
