white grape

Vidal

Frozen winters of Ontario; grapes picked and pressed while frozen.

Known as: Vidal, Vidal Blanc

Vidal is the hybrid grape behind Canadian ice wine, the world's most famous example of this frozen-grape delicacy.

Enduring the cruel winter of Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, the frozen berries concentrate into a luscious honey of apricot, lychee and mango.

For the buyer, Vidal ice wine is a Canadian treasure — intensely sweet yet amazingly fresh and balanced.
