Vidulce is the very special wine made at Caihailian Vineyard. Using the 1,512 Vidal Blanc grape vines originally planted in 1998, this wine drives to the strengths for which this grape is known. Commonly grown in Ontario and the New York Finger Lakes to make an ice wine, Vidal produces a wine which can finish with a satisfying balance of sweet and acid (yes-acid is what carries the flavors of all our favorite beverages!) While the ice wines are produced by harvesting grapes frozen on the vine in early winter (generally under lights at night), Caihailian uses a cryoconcentration process to more rationally process the grape juice at normal harvest season, time of day, and working conditions.
