WINE MAKING

Naturally frozen Vidal grapes were hand harvested at -10˚C from Niagara Peninsula vineyards. The grapes were pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Barrel fermented (25%), and then aged in 100% French oak for 2 to 3 months.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

A bright yellow gold colour with a beautiful bouquet of star fruit, Bartlett pear, candied pineapple, lemon marmalade, and a touch of floral honey. This Vidal Icewine is a rich, luscious, perfectly sweet wine with flavours of juicy peach, tropical fruit, and a drizzle of honey. The bracing acidity slices through and leaves wonderful flavours of tangy citrus marmalade, lemon drops, and candied pineapple lingering exquisitely on the finish
