Vidal

Select Late Harvest Vidal Wine Details
Price:

Description: Reif Estate Winery was the first winery in Canada to create the Vidal Select Late Harvest back in 1987. It comes very close to an Icewine, but displays only half the sweetness. Our 2001 Vidal Select is full of peach, apricot and great acidity. The feel is fresh, crisp with a long elegant finish. Enjoy this wine on its own or with chocolate truffles, strawberry shortcake or with a chocolate-vanilla marble swirl-cake.

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.
