Vidal Blanc: Sip, Savor, Celebrate

Crisp, clean and refreshing. Vidal Blanc is the simple yet delightful wine for your glass this summer. 

Vidal Blanc (vee-dahl-blahnc) is a French American hybrid that is known for its hardiness and ability to tolerate colder climates due to its thicker skin. This varietal was developed by a French grape breeder in the 1930s and is now a staple in Missouri wine country.

This grape produces wine that varies from dry to semi-dry and is sometimes used in blends and produced as a sweet, lste harvest dessert style wine and even sparkling wines. This varietal produces a medium bodied, crisp and clean wine, making it a refreshing choice for summers in Missouri.

With notes of pear, apple, citrus and other fruits, this wine pairs exceptionally well with a variety of foods like grilled chicken, seafood, broccoli & asparagus, pasta & cream sauce, pine nuts & melon, citrus, sushi, soup and mozzarella.

To celebrate Vidal Blanc month, we recommend trying out this delicious Missouri White Wine Shrimp Linguine recipe. Combining shrimp, Vidal Blanc, pasta, and a savory creamy sauce, this quick meal is sure to impress. 

If you are looking for a Missouri white wine to pair with your dinner, a refreshing glass of wine for summer, or a Missouri classic, Vidal Blanc is an excellent choice for you to sip, savor and celebrate.
