Icewine

Icewine Wine Details
Price: $44.50 per bottle

Description: (Pacific Rim International Bronze Award!) Vidal Blanc grapes are left untouched on the vines under protective netting until the deep freeze of winter and are picked at night in early February. Due to the highly concentrated juice the yield is very low. A delicious nectar, apricot and honey on the palate, with a very smooth finish. Serve very cold.

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.
