Tasting Notes:

A bright, alluring, golden color hints at the elegance of this absolutely stellar Icewine. A taste of this Icewine reveals its full opulence with the richness swirling gracefully and filling the palate with an explosion of lush fruits of peach, apricot, and lychees. The fruit driven sweetness is supported perfectly with the well-balanced acidity and the lavish, lingering heat. Fantastic with exotic fruit salad, crème caramel, Roquefort cheese, blue cheese, or simply on its own after a beautiful meal. For a sweet experience, try it with foie gras. This wine will age beautifully for at least 5 years due to the high yet balanced acidity.

Prodution Notes:

This unique treasure was harvested between mid to late January at -10 degrees with an average sugar of 38.5 oBrix. The juice was seeded with a variety of specialized yeasts such as EC1118, DV10 and V1116 and fermented in a stainless steel tank over a period of approximately 6 weeks at 12oC to 200 g/L residual sugar. Post fermentation, the wine was racked off gross lees and protein stabilized prior to sterile filtration.
