Snow Tropics
Vidal
2009
Background
Our estate vineyard is a
long way from the tropics. It seems especially distant on cool
and foggy late autumn days. In these chilly conditions Vidal
reaches its sunniest and most tropical expression. We harvest
the grapes after extended hang time for maximum concentration
and ripe fruit flavour. Enjoy this wine chilled while lounging in
the warmth of the sun.
Tasting Notes
Perfumed, floral,
peach and tropical aromas with spicy and nutty undertones.
The wine is made in a refreshing and
clean off-dry style perfect for casual sipping.

From the editors of Wine Press
Northwest:
"Arrowleaf
Cellars 2009 Snow Tropics Vidal, Okanagan Valley, $16 CDN: Using
grapes from his estate Suncrest Vineyard, winemaker Manuel
Zuppiger is a master with this rare white wine grape. This
bursts with aromas of jasmine and candy corn, followed by
flavors of lemon oil, lime zest and even a touch of quince in
the finish. It's sweet at 1.6%, but its zingy acidity expertly
backs up all the sugar and flavor. Won double gold at the All
Canadian Wine Championships and gold at the Northwest Wine
Summit. (670 cases, 12% alc.)"
