Winemaker’s Notes:
This 2010 Vidal Blanc follows the very popular 2009 Vidal Blanc, the first ever Vidal Blanc from Muscedere Vineyards.

This wine exhibits tropical notes on the nose and a clean crisp finish. Pairs well with light foods, appetizers and salads.

Winemaker’s Notes:
There are conflicting reports over the internet who invented the Vidal Blanc variety. Some say it was John Louis Vidal and others say it was one of the commercially-successful hybrid products of prolific French hybridizer Albert Seibel. What is certain is that it is a cross of viniferia Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano) and an early French American hybrid Rayon d’Or (Seibel 4986). This first ever Vidal Blanc from Muscedere Vineyards is a light, clean, crisp white wine. This wine ehibits hints of citrus fruit and passion fruit. Enjoy with a summer salad on the patio or on its own as a cocktail wine.
