Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, sweet
This is a classic Niagara Vidal Icewine, luscious and honeyed with ripe apricot and tropical fruit flavors balanced by a bracing streak of acidity that keeps it from feeling cloying. Vidal Blanc's thick skins make it well suited to the freeze-and-press process, giving a rich, viscous texture with vibrant orchard and citrus fruit notes. Serve well chilled in small pours alongside dessert or a pungent cheese.
