Henry of Pelham 1999 Special Select Late Harvest Vidal Blanc (Niagara Peninsula)

Country: Canada / Special Select Late Harvest
Variety: Vidal Blanc Ontario
Winery: Henry of Pelham / Niagara Peninsula

Vidal has a peculiar bouquet that I have a hard time describing. This one boasts muskmelon, litchi and kumquat aromas, backed by a honeyed sweetness and grapefruit-like acids. Intense—verging on overblown—this is a fine example of what this French-American hybrid is capable of producing.
