Versatility of Icewine
It's widely-acclaimed as the exquisite culmination of a fine meal but with its astonishing scope of flavors, Icewine can enhance the dining experience in a great many ways. Great chefs use Icewine as a "secret ingredient" to great effect, in savory sauces, reductions, marinades, ices, compotes, glazes, chutneys and dessert sauces. It can even add its extraordinary finesse to update the most famous of cocktails, the classic martini.
Viticulture/Vinification
Inniskillin 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 -10º . 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 flavors of lemon, lime and candied apricot. |
Food Pairing Suggestions Serving Notes Serve 1.5 to 2 ounces of Icewine per glass, chilled to approximately 43°F. A standard 375ml bottle will serve approximately 7-8 people. Once opened, you can store Icewine for up to four weeks if properly sealed and refrigerated. |
