Vidal Blanc
 
Mischief
A versatile white wine grape from which a broad spectrum of wines is produced. Chardonnay is one of the grapes used in making fine French champagne and white burgundy.  In the United States, wine produced from this grape is referred to simply as "Chardonnay." Our version of Chardonnay is a dry, complex wine which can only be described as buttery , creamy, nutty and “oaky”  .The fruit descriptors include lemon and melon.   Vidal is a successful hybrid grape of vinifera Ugni Blanc (Trebbiano) and early French American hybrid Rayon d’Or. Vidal’s high, natural acidity makes it suitable for a wide range of styles, from light and crisp to Ice Wine.  Our Vidal Blanc is full bodied, with fruity floral characteristics, grapefruit and pineapple notes and a significant amount of residual sugar.   This is a blend of our 2006 Pinot Gris and our 2007 Chardonnay.  These two wines could not be more different, but blended together they show wonderful fruit flavors and oak overtones within a full bodied wine.

Blanc Franc
Pinot Gris, also known as Pinot Grigio in Italy, is a white wine that is closely related to Pinot Noir. The color of this grape can vary substantially, producing wines that range from white to slightly pink. Our dry Pinot Gris is a medium-full bodied white wine with a slight pink tone. The flavor of this wine is dominated by pear and melon with a hint of honey.  

This is a slightly softer and sweeter version of our dry Pinot Gris.  This wine has the same medium-full body texture and fruit overtones with a hint of oak.  This is all complimented by a small amount of residual sugar which softens the acidity of this crisp wine.

our reds

 

In 2007, we found ourselves with an abundance of Cabernet Franc grapes.  We decided that we would create a wine in a white style with these red grapes.  These grapes were harvested two weeks before the other Cabernet Franc grapes, crushed and pressed within 24 hours to limit the contact between juice and red skins.  The result is a white wine with soft fruity flavors and a soft sweet finish.
