Vidal Blanc

Vidal Blanc Wine Details
Price: $11.99 per bottle

Description: This wine is finished for 7-8 months in older oak barrels to give it just a hint of toasty oak to balance the pungent fruit of Vidal Blanc. A lean textured white, it is an excellent choice for complementing seafood. The fruity citrus finish of this wine allows it to travel through the seasons with grace.

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.
