WINE MAKING

Our Andrew Peller Icewine is made from naturally frozen Vidal grapes harvested from Niagara Peninsula vineyards at -10°C. The grapes are pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Fermentation is performed at a cool temperature of 15ºC to preserve pure fruit expression and freshness, then aged in stainless steel.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Bright copper gold colour with a pretty aroma of poached peach, golden pineapple, caramel, and honeycomb. An exceptionally well-balanced Icewine exhibiting a burst of fruit flavour, bracing acidity and the perfect amount of sweetness. The pure, clean fruit flavours of juicy tropical fruit, and candied pineapple caress the palate. Flavours of lemon drop, citrus sorbet, and guava linger on the long finish.
