Harvest
All the grapes for the Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Vidal were hand-harvested from our escarpment estate vineyards on Cherry Avenue above Vineland (Niagara Region, Ontario).

Winemaking - currently being updated
We have only a few Vidal vines, intended mostly for Icewine or late-harvest sweet wine production. However, Vidal can happily be made as an uncomplicated, bright and cheerful table wine ... our customers love it.  The grapes for the Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Vidal were crushed and destemmed, cold-settled, and fermented cool in stainless steel to retain clean bright flavours and aromas.

Winemaker's notes
The initial toffee, caramel and marzipan aromas follow through with yellow plum, grapefruit and apple.  The wine finishes with a slight, lingering sweetness.

Food pairings
This is a classic sipping wine. Enjoy with grilled seafood of pasta with a light cream based sauce. It is versatile and can pair very well with your favorite cheesecake.
