Discover the grape 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).

The wine region of Rhode Island
Smallest US state (New England), included in the Southeastern New England AVA, temperate maritime climate moderated by the Atlantic, 180-day growing season. Chardonnay is the signature white king: fresh and straight with green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers and a briny mineral touch, vibrant Atlantic acidity. Taut Riesling and aromatic Vidal hybrid as whites. Spiced Cabernet Franc and airy Pinot Noir as cool-climate reds.
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
