WINTERWINE 2002

WINTERWINE 2002 Wine Details
Price: $24.95 per bottle

Description: Our Vidal Blanc grapes were harvested after the first nights frost in mid-November. This delicate dessert wine's fragrant aromas of tangerines and apricots, wild honey and passion fruit are complemented by a rich and intense sweetness balanced with refreshing acidity.

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.
