This is the first time we’ve produced a Late Harvest Vidal, and the result is a nice alternative to Icewine.  On the nose it is similar to it’s Icewine counterpart with lots of fruit cocktail notes including pear and mandarin oranges. On the palate this wine is lovely and refreshing light citrus notes including lots of pink grapefruit, balanced by slight honeydew notes.  Pair with fresh cheeses and fruits.
