DescriptionDescription  Vidals… they’re a dime-a-dozen in Ontario, from table wines to semi-sweets, late harvests to our luscious icewine, everybody’s making one in some form or another – but finding one that really stands out is a challenge. Enter Southbrook’s 2004 Southbrook White (a bronze medal winner at the Canadian Wine Awards). The ‘04 was made entirely from Vidal grapes, and yielded some fantastic results. Winemaker Steve Byfield has crafted this beauty as an anytime sipper. Tropical fruits on the nose with a mild hint of citrus; the palate has pineapple, kiwi, apricots and candied fruit. Crisp, easy drinking, with just the merest hint of sweetness, coming in at a one on the sugar scale. Delicious, especially at the price.As an aside, I recently served this wine at a party, to welcome my first niece into the world, and it was a huge hit (both the baby and the wine) … of the four wines served, these were the first two bottles to be emptied!
