Wine Review: This golden colored Vidal Ice is very good. It was well liked by everyone that tried it. It opens with a fragrant apricot bouquet with a hint of orange marmalade. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, rich, sweet and syrupy. The flavor profile is a very tasty ginger and orange blend with notes of honey. The finish is pleasantly sweet and lingers nicely. This Vidal is ideal on its own as dessert. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Vidal is a hybrid (Ugni Blanc and Seibel) that has a thick skin suitable for harvesting late in the season. It is the grape grown most for Icewine in Ontario. It’s good natural acidity gives great structure to the lusciousness of its tropical aromas and flavors of mango and lychee.
