Vidal Blanc

Vidal Blanc Wine Details
Price:

Description: Vidal is a successful hybrid grape of vinifera Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano) and early French American hybrid Rayon d’Or. Vidal’s high, natural acidity makes it suitable for a wide range of styles, from light and crisp to Ice Wine. Our Vidal Blanc is full bodied, with fruity floral characteristics, grapefruit and pineapple notes and a significant amount of residual sugar.

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.
