Vintage & Viticulture
The 2008 harvest for Vidal began the evening of December 9 and followed on Dec 22 and was finished on Jan 14. Average picking temperatures ranged from -9 ˚C and -12˚C . Our Vidal Icewine is traditionally harvested from our oldest 12 acre block of 26 year old Vidal vines, the Grand Reserve Icewine is hand selected from the oldest section of this vineyard.
Winemaker's Notes:
The juice pressed from clean fruit was carefully fermented for a seven month period, with temperature-controlled fermentation (less than 15°C), using selected yeast for cold slow fermenting. The wine was both fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to highlight the complexity of stone fruit components found in Vidal.
Tasting Notes:
Layered aromas of tropical fruit, peach, apricot and honey introduce the unmatched flavours that follow through on the palate. Fresh ripe fig, toffee, and stone fruit dominate. The sweet finish is complimented by a crisp acidity that delicately balances this superb wine.
Food Pairings:
Fresh fruit fondues, bold blue cheeses or on its own as a dessert.
