Of the 3 typical icewine varietals, I usually prefer one made from Vidal Blanc because it has less sugar level, but it does lack of the lushness and complexity of one made from Riesling or CF.
Well, this oak aged Vidal Blanc seems to have the best of both worlds. Intense and bright tropical fruits aroma. Honey-like sweetness is countered by the lovely acidity. And the oak definitely adds complexity with sweet spices and toasty notes. Buttery mouthfeel. Wonderfully balanced.

Lighter than the cab franc, notes of apricot and peach. More acidity. Pairs well w creamy cheeses or custards.
