WINE MAKING

Niagara’s Icewine pioneer since 1983. Naturally frozen Vidal grapes are harvested from Niagara Peninsula vineyards at -10°C. The grapes are pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Fermentation and aging are performed in stainless steel at a cool temperature to retain fruit concentration.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Bright yellow gold colour with a wonderful bouquet of tropical fruit, buckwheat honey, marmalade, and golden raisin. A rich yet elegant Icewine that is perfectly sweet and balanced by bracing acidity. A burst of flavours suggesting tropical fruit and peach juice excite the palate, and linger on the finish, with an added note of tangy marmalade.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Serve chilled at 8 - 10°C in small white wine glasses, 1 to 2 oz per person. Enjoy before a meal, chilled with your favourite vodka and a trio of frozen grapes for an amazing Icewine Martini. Enjoy during a meal with creamy pâté. Also, a wonderful companion to Indian curry dishes and spicy Asian cuisine. Enjoy with the cheese course which may include Manchego, 2-year-old Canadian cheddar or creamy blue cheeses.
