PORTSMOUTH – Greenvale Vineyards makes the best wine in Rhode Island, according to New York-based women’s lifestyle website PureWow.

The top blend? Greenvale’s Skipping Stone White, which has a “crisp and bright combination of Cayuga and Vidal Blanc,” according to the site’s findings.

According to PureWow, the 24-acre vineyard at 582 Wapping Road produces 3,500 cases of wine annually.

Overlooking the Sakonnet River, Greenvale Vineyards was once farmland but became an estate for John Barstow, a Boston businessman, in the 1860s. More than a century later, in 1980, the estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Greenvale also is one of 14 members of the Coastal Wine Trail, a coalition which works to promote wine tourism in Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

Top wineries in Massachusetts and Connecticut were, respectively, North Dartmouth’s Running Brooks Vineyard and Winery, also a Coastal Wine Trail member, and Pomfret’s Sharpe Hill Vineyard.
