Rhode Island, though small in size, is establishing its presence in the American winegrowing scene with its unique coastal vineyards and mild maritime climate. The state's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean plays a critical role in moderating its vineyard climates, much like the Pacific does for California. This oceanic influence tempers the summer heat and extends the growing season, allowing grapes to develop rich flavors and balanced acidity slowly. Vineyards closest to the coast benefit from the cool sea breezes, ideal for growing delicate, aromatic grape varieties, while the slightly warmer inland areas can support the cultivation of fuller-bodied wines.
