Description:
Usually harvested in December at 15 degrees F when the grapes are partially frozen, with only the sweetest juice still in slush form. We aim to harvest the first fall day that temperature is reached. In 2003 we harvested on Dec 3 at 15F, and in 2004 on Dec 11 also at 15F.

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.
