2023 Jolo Vineyards Golden Hallows' Reserve Vidal Blanc
Golden Hallows', North Carolina (USA)
Retail: Not available to the public
Thursday Night Wine Up is (an opened bottle given to us) 2023 Jolo Vineyards Golden Hallows Reserve Vidal Blanc from North Carolina. Our first experience with this varietal. Delicate nose intensity.
Vidal blanc can be overly fruity with aromas of grapefruit and pineapple. I was thinking Chardonnay by the color and nose but was I wrong. Very refreshing and paired excellent with baked chicken and chicken kabobs. Wasn't as sweet as Vidal Blanc is.
Due to its high acidity and sugar potential, it is particularly suited to sweeter, dessert wines due to the the tough outer skin of the grape. In the right climate Vidal Blanc can be an ice wine.
No information from the winery or winemaker not available yet for the public. Expecting the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks given the freshness and crisp palate.
Retail: Not for sale yet. They make Vidal Blanc sparkling and sold out. I really like to try it!
This wine was in the San Diego International Wine and Spirits Competition which we heard was an award winner.
Yes that is my KGB 101.5 mouse pad. The mouse pad rocks as should the wine.
