Vidal

Vidal Wine Details
Price: $13.95 per bottle

Description: The 2005 Vidal surprised us with a delightful complexity. It has a sweet, floral nose that seems to combine citrus blossom and peach, then minerals. The mouthfeel is light and clear, and the finish zips through with a little acid fare-thee-well. One for the table, the deck, the living room: a wine to wind down with, or provide the incentive to whip up an inventive light dinner.

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.
