WINE DESCRIPTION
Tomasello Winery's Vidal Blanc Ice Wine is a lusciously sweet white wine hailing from the state of New Jersey. The wine is composed entirely from Vidal Blanc, a thick-skinned hybrid known for its ability to withstand extreme frosts, making it the ideal variety to produce ice wines. The winemaking involves harvesting frozen grapes and pressing them to extract the concentrated juice. The juice is partially fermented in stainless steel vats, resulting in a luscious and sweet dessert wine with vibrant flavors of tropical fruits and honey.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Tomasello Winery Vidal Blanc Ice Wine coats the glass with a brilliant deep golden appearance, hinting at a wine of considerable concentration and viscosity.On the nose, the wine bursts with intense and well-defined aromas of honey, apricot, and tropical fruits.
Upon tasting, the wine is rich and unctuous, with its intense sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity, creating a well-rounded palate. The flavors of apricot, honey, and ripe tropical fruits are pronounced, lingering on the long and satisfying finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Tomasello Winery
Region: New Jersey
New Jersey is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It is bordered by New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Atlantic Ocean. With a long history of winemaking, New Jersey is now emerging as a major player in the US wine scene.
New Jersey has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the 1600s when Dutch settlers planted the first vines in the state. In the 1700s, the British took over and continued to cultivate the vineyards. By the 1800s, New Jersey had become one of the largest wine-producing states in the US. However, Prohibition in the 1920s put an end to the state's winemaking industry. It wasn't until the 1980s that winemaking began to make a comeback in New Jersey.CUSTOMER RATING
