Vidal Blanc Ice Wine '17
Estate-Grown
This newly-released 2017 Vidal Blanc Ice Wine is very similar to the 2016 vintage, which was awarded 97 Points/Double Gold in the 2017 San Francisco Wine Competition.
Traditional honey and pear notes in this well-balanced, complex ice wine. Pale golden yellow. Earthy aromas of dusty golden raisins, honeycomb, and apricot custard with a soft, sweet light-to-medium body and a honeyed dried peach finish. Pairs well with Johnson Estate House-Made Austrian Hazelnuts.
NOTE: New image coming, but the 2017 vintage is also in a traditional blue ice wine bottle with glass Vin-lok cork.
