An Illinois Vignoles

Bella Terra Winery in Southern Illinois is located southeast of Marion, Illinois, among ponds and trees. We were treated this week to a bottle of their Diamante wine.  Diamante is a non vintage Illinois dry Vignoles with 12% alcohol. It has a floral perfume aroma and has floral flavors forward but that is replaced by a mostly honey taste.  The finish is dry yet smooth.  This was a very pleasant dry white wine.It paired well with vegetables and dip.
