2021 Ten Vines White
The 2021 Ten Vines White is a blend of 72% Vidal Blanc and 28% Chardonnay, aged in stainless steel. Slightly off-dry, the Vidal Blanc brings citrus aromas and notes to the wine, while Chardonnay adds a lot of body and texture. For a Vidal dominant blend, the wine has a surprising amount of weight to it, which comes from the use of the Chardonnay lees. A very versatile wine for food pairing, it can stand up to rich creamy dishes and will handle spicy foods with ease. Low alcohol and crisp acidity make this a wonderful summertime sipper. Highly recommended with barbeque.
