Greenvale Vidal Blanc

Greenvale Vidal Blanc Wine Details
Price: $11.99 per bottle

Description: This grape is a wonderful French American hybrid that produces an extremely aromatic and pleasantly flavored wine. The 2001 is a beautiful color, with a bright fresh fruity nose, a little off dry when first tasted finishing with some nice acidity. The acidity makes this a particularly good food wine, delicious with fish, chicken, ham and spicy food. Fermented in stainless steel. Approximately 1020 cases produced.

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.
