More informations about the variety Vidal blanc
Aromatic, structured whites with firm acidity preserved at full ripeness, featuring aromas of citrus, pineapple, mango, apricot, honey and muscat notes. Absolute star of Canadian Icewines (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia) where thick-skinned berries survive on the vine through frost, yielding rich liquoreux with exotic fruit and honey aromas. Also made as dry and semi-sweet whites in the northeastern United States. French hybrid created in 1930 by Jean-Louis Vidal (Ugni Blanc × Rayon d'Or).
