2020 Frai Vidal

This is the first straight Vidal Blanc bottled by Cardinal Point. The fruit comes from our friend, Jenny Rous’ vineyard, just south in Roseland, Virginia. Like all wines in our “Frai” series, this wine’s primary fermentation was stopped before all the sugar became alcohol. The idea is to bottle the freshness of a new wine. It’s semi-dry and features flavors of apple and pome fruit. The wine features complexity in mouthfeel and finish due to pre- and post-fermentation experimentation. It’s a little petulant, showing its youth. Definitely a drink for Summer evenings … and a cheese plate.
