Description:
Like Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc is a French Hybrid variety that is extremely suitable for the Atlantic coast weather. Its grapes are light and fruity with good natural acidity. Our winemaker beautifully preserves these fine characteristics by vinifying Vidal in stainless steel tanks and by halting cold fermentation around 1% residual sugar. Light bodied and slightly sweet, our Vidal Blanc is a crisp and fruity wine with accents of apples, pears, and grapefruit. A great aperitif wine! Enjoy with chicken, veal, and fruit salads. Serve chilled at 45 degrees.

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.

Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
