Vidal Select Late Harvest 2019

VINTAGE & VITICULTURE

Grapes were harvested from our oldest 12-acre block of Vidal vines planted in 1981.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

The juice used to produce our Select Late Harvest is drawn from a second pressing of our award-winning Vidal Icewine juice. After the first pressing of juice for the Icewine the second pressing yields a slightly less sweet juice that is then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to highlight the complexity of stone fruit components found in Vidal.

TASTING NOTES

Characteristic peach and apricot aromatics with a rich texture of honey, peach and apricot on the palate. Sweetness is balanced by a refreshing acidity on the finish, always a sign of a well-made dessert wine. Pair with like flavours in a peach or apricot fruit flan or melba or try contrasting with a rich paté or creamy soup at the beginning of a meal.
