WINEMAKING
Naturally frozen Cabernet Franc grapes are hand harvested from Niagara Peninsula vineyards at -11˚C. The Cabernet Franc grapes are pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Fermentation and aging are performed at a cool temperature to retain fruit concentration (50% in stainless steel and 50% in French oak barrels).

FLAVOUR PROFILE
A cranberry copper colour with an aromatic bouquet of red currant jelly, strawberry puree and caramelized sugar. This little gem has a rich mouthfeel that is perfectly sweet and balanced by refreshing acidity. Flavours of red berry coulis and baked rhubarb excite the palate. Red currant, pomegranate molasses and raspberry jam notes linger on the finish.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve chilled at 8 to 10ºC in small white wine glasses, 1 to 2 ounces per person. Enjoy before a meal, chilled with your favourite vodka and a couple of frozen grapes for an amazing Icewine Martini. Make a wonderful Trius Icewine Royale by adding 1 ounce of Icewine to 4 ounces of Trius Brut sparkling wine. Enjoy during a meal with a chicken liver pâté; black olive tapenade; spicy crab cakes; spicy Asian vegetable rolls. Icewine is wonderful with a cheese course which may include Wensleydale with cranberries, cranberry cinnamon goat cheese, or baked Brie with a sweet red berry nut sauce. For pairing with desserts think of strawberry, cherry, blueberry, rhubarb, raspberry, blackberry and Saskatoon berry. Enjoy with strawberry rhubarb pie; cherry tarts; Saskatoon berry crumble; blueberry turnovers. Also wonderful with dark chocolate desserts. Enjoy now through 2025.
