Vintage Report
Spring and summer conditions saw exemplary Okanagan weather with an excellent start to the season for budburst and flower- ing. Careful vineyard management with intensive pruning and thinning for smaller crops yielded high quality grape clusters. Harvest began September 6th and lasted through November 1st, for the table wines. The onset of cool fall evenings and warm days produced whites with exceptional crisp freshness and reds with well balanced tannin and sugar maturation. The Vidal ice wine was harvested late on January 22, with the long hang time resulting in smaller berry size and more intense varietal flavours.
Tasting Notes
Gorgeous floral and spice aromas highlight decadent notes of apricot, tangerine and guava. This Vidal Icewine is lush and fruity with rich honey concentration balanced with lively acidity and a deliciously persistent finish.
Food Pairing Notes
The perfect finish to an evening, this icewine can be an aperitif on its own or paired with dried or fresh fruit, mild cheeses, pastries or custards.
