Winemakers Notes

A white hybrid grape variety produced from the Vitis vinifera variety Ugni blanc (also known as Trebbiano Toscano) and another hybrid variety, Rayon d’Or (Seibel 4986). It is a very winter-hardy variety that manages to produce high sugar levels in cold climates with moderate to high acidity. This wine possesses aromas of black tea and pear to dominate this light-bodied Vidal Blanc. This wine is a late harvest style nicely balanced with the acid to produce a crisp citrus, yet smooth finish rendering a very refreshing and vibrant wine.
