Sanson Late Harvest Vidal 2007 Review
Winemaker’s Notes:
I really don’t think I have ever visited Sanson Estate without someone coming in during my time there and buying a couple of bottles of this wine. It seems to be a staple for Essex County locals. Vidal is actually a hybrid grape that was designed to survive Canada’s inclement winters but it found a niche as icewine - actually celebrating those same cold months. Harvested a little late in the fall, after the fruit has had time to accumulate extra ripeness this wine shows round, honeyed aromas of pineapple and peach that carry to a soft, round, full palate. It’s simply an easy-to-drink, slightly off-dry, un oaked wine that is great on its own or will compliment a surprising range of foods - anything from pan-fried fish to roast fowl to spicy Asian cuisine… or just enjoy a glass on its own.

Nice fruity sweet white.
If icewine is just to sweet for you this wine may just be what you are looking for.
Aromas of honey and pears. Taste begins with tropical fruit, pears and fresh honey is finishes with a little bit of acidity for a nice balance. Smooth and easy to sip on alone or after dinner.
