Vidal ICEWINE

Vidal ICEWINE Wine Details
Price: $49.95 per bottle

Description: Hand-picked and pressed at about -9°C (16°F), winter helped produce a dessert wine of power and verve. The palate fills up with all things tropical - mango and pineapple - then rounds out with peach, fig, and candied fruit. Cushioned by a mouthwatering rim of honey and caramel; framed with a delicate structure and body: they call it “Liquid Gold” for a reason.

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.
