Vidal Ice Dessert Wine 1998

Vidal Ice Dessert Wine 1998 Wine Details
Price:

Description: Produced from grapes grown on one of the best vineyards located on the Niagara Peninsula, we believe this to be one of the finest Ice Wines ever produced. It is an intensely sweet and flavorful ice wine produced from Vidal grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula in ideal climatic conditions. The deep gold in color and enhancing aromas of tropical fruit, spice and honey will make this the perfect ending to any meal.

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.
Niagara:
A native American grape varietal, the Niagara is often referred to as the "white Concord." Widely grown in New York, it is a popular table wine, vinified in a slightly sweet style, though the best producers tend to minimize its inherent foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky) qualities.
