Vidal Blanc

Vidal Blanc Wine Details
Price: $10.95 per bottle

Description: Our Vidal grapes were harvested in mid-October. The classic floral, fruity up-front nose of this wine fools your palate into assuming it has a sweeter style. But in actuality, the finish is very dry - reminiscent of Pinot Grigio. Our 2004 Vidal Blanc was 100% stainless steel fermented at an average temperature of 50°F for two months. Vidal Blanc is Sakonnet's signature wine.

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.
