Description

One bottle (375ml) Award winning Ice Wine from Inniskillin Wines Niagra-On-The-Lake, Canada


Versatility of Icewine
It's widely-acclaimed as the exquisite culmination of a fine meal but with its astonishing scope of flavours, Icewine can enhance the dining experience in a great many ways. Great chefs use Icewine as a "secret ingredient" to great effect, in savoury 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 flavours of lemon, lime and candied apricot.

Food Pairing Suggestions
Perfect on its own as a dessert, or an excellent match to fresh fruit, rich pâté or fine blue veined and cream based cheese.
Accolades
"94 Points", Wine Spectator, 2008 
Grand Gold Medal, Vinitaly, 2008
