Description: Our 2002 vintage is definitely one of our best ever. This wine shows what is now the classical characteristics that make an Icewine great. Rich layered aromas of peach, apricot and honey with a palate showing flavours of ripe peach, dried apricots and figs. The acidity is truly this wines strength, crisp lively and showing incredible balance with the other components. This Icewine is the complete package, a total experience only offered by the finest Icewine in the world.

Varietal Definition
Vidal Blanc:
A white French hybrid once widely planted in the south of France, it is more suitable for growing in warm and humid climates like the South. These vines are prolific, producing large golden berries, suitable for eating out of hand as table grapes. When vinified, Villard Blanc makes a fruity, mildly intense white wine (somewhat Sauvignon Blanc like) of fairly neutral and simple flavors. Primarily used for blending.
