nniskillin Icewine, recognized as one of the world’s great wines is a gift from winter to wine lovers. Harvested at the pinnacle of Canada’s crisp winter, the grapes are naturally frozen on the vine and picked when the temperature drops below -10ș . Only a few drops of luscious nectar can be extracted from each bunch, which is expertly guided through fermentation to achieve the rich and alluring specialty known as Icewine.

Tasting notes

Sublime aromatics of fresh lime, apricot, grapefruit and peach blossom with a slight minteral edge. A racy interplay of sweet and tart offer up echoing balanced flavours of lemon, lime and candied apricot.
