Vidal Icewine

Vidal Icewine Wine Details
Price: $40.10 per bottle

Description: A wonderful level of complexity can be found in this Icewine. White tree fruit such as pear, apple and white peach dominate the nose, but hints of honeysuckle and caramel are also evident. The subtle creamy texture from barrel fermentation is balanced by refreshing citrus acidity and oak tannin adding structure to the palate. Flavours include concentrated peach, apple, pear and apricot with oak spice and crème brulé on the finish. A fine example of the balancing act of sweetness, crisp acidity and soft oak. Enjoy now or age for added complexity until 2014.

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.
