Special
Select Late Harvest Vidal
2010
Background
Vidal is a winter-hardy French hybrid that is particularly
popular in Canada and the north-eastern United States. The
variety ripens late and has very thick skins that are able to
withstand the unfavourable winter weather. We generally harvest
a portion of the grapes in December and leave the rest to
harvest when the temperature drops low enough to make icewine.
We then blend the two portions and aim for an average sugar
content of about 32 brix.
Tasting Notes
Intense apricot, quince, tropical fruit, caramel and honey
flavors. This is a dense and sweet late harvest wine with
lively acidity.
Food Pairing
Drink as a dessert wine or serve with Belgian waffles, fruit
crêpes or pair with a cheese platter.
