Vintage & Viticulture
We experienced a relatively mild, dry winter and this led to an early spring. Bud break was about 2 weeks earlier and May brought in summer like weather. The rest of the season remained warm and allowed grapes to reach ripeness not seen in a couple of years.
Winemaker's Notes:
Great acidity is the wines defining characteristic and has made one of its parents Ugni Blanc(trebbiano) famous in cognac. A classic Vidal Late Harvest with all the intense fruit aromas and flavours one would expect from a Vintage like 2010.
Tasting Notes:
Apple blossoms and honey, ripe peach and apricot with a complexity of floral notes fill your nose.Intense flavours explode with sweet honey, ripe peach and apricot. The freshness of the acidity balances with the sweet fruit flavours. A favourite Reif sweet summer sipper. Tasted July 27, 2011
Food Pairings:
Fresh fruit fondues, light summers salads and zesty cheeses.
