Discovering the wine region of Rhode Island
Smallest US state (New England), included in the Southeastern New England AVA, temperate maritime climate moderated by the Atlantic, 180-day growing season. Chardonnay is the signature white king: fresh and straight with green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers and a briny mineral touch, vibrant Atlantic acidity. Taut Riesling and aromatic Vidal hybrid as whites. Spiced Cabernet Franc and airy Pinot Noir as cool-climate reds.
