Vidal is an aromatic and hardy French hybrid which is ideal for making Canadian Icewine. Not only is it a long and steady ripener, it has rich, full aromas and flavors balanced by a firm acidity. Icewines made from Vidal are noted for their complexities of honey, tangerine, apricot and pineapple, and when Vidal is aged in oak it takes on rich overtones of vanilla, almonds and fresh baked bread. Vidal Icewine works beautifully in a glaze for caramelized grilled pork roast or as an accompaniment to fresh summer berries with cream, a pear tart, apple or peach pastries, or with cheeses and pâté.
Wine Enthusiast
This Vidal icewine is packed with aromas of lemon, grapefruit and flowers, and offers a racy but luscious intermingling of lemon and apricot. The flavors are heady but never heavy—the wine has a delicate touch and an elegant, integrated character that would please almost any wine drinker.
Score: 91.

Wine Spectator
Has purity and a supple texture, offering a foil for the apricot, passion fruit and dried citrus elements. Nicely balanced between sweet and tart, this leaves a mouthwatering impression. Drink now through 2016.
