Vidal Eiswein

Vidal Eiswein Wine Details
Price: $47.00 per bottle

Description: A very rare and special dessert wine, made from grapes frozen on the vine. Picked in the middle of the night while the grapes are still frozen and then processed before they thaw, which gives a very high concentration of sugar in the juice. The nose is floral and fruity. The flavors are honey and pear with a subtle spice finish.

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.
