ICE WINE, CANADA'S GIFT TO THE WORLD
Award and Certificates
NEW HEIGHTS Ice Wine
2019 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake
375ml $14.50
The 2019 Vintage was extremely hot with little rainfall and lots of
sunshine. To protect the grapes we left foliage on the vines providing extensive canopy. The soil was able to hold moisture through the season to ensure the vines remained healthy in the heat, producing a crop balanced in sugars, water and acidity- a known Niagara trait.
A stellar Icewine which encompasses fantastic aromas of floral notes, honey, candied orange peel, peach and apricot. You’ll find intense flavours of pineapple, lychee, and honey on your palate, as well as a voluptuous texture, balancing acidity and long finish.
This wine is perfect as an aperitif or digestif. It also can be enjoyed with strong cheeses (aged cheddar, deep-veined blue cheese, etc.) or desserts less sweet than the Icewine (focus on citrus flavours).
CRISTALLI CABERNET Ice Wine
2019 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake
375ml $17.50
Cabernet Sauvignon consistently produces some of our most luscious and well-balanced Icewine’s and this one is no exception. It has vibrant aromatics of cooked red fruits like strawberry, raspberry and red plum with an
underlying sense of sultana raisin, fruit punch, ginger snap and white pepper. The palate is very soft with just enough acidity to preserve freshness and just enough sweetness to achieve an exceptional silky texture. This balanced mouthfeel is also accompanied by an explosion of cooked red fruits which are like those which dominate the nose, along with honey and red currant. As the wine moves into it’s long finish, the sense of fresh fruit moves into more brown sugar and dried fruits which will only become more prominent as the wine ages in the bottle.
This wine pairs very well with fruit based desserts like strawberry rhubarb pie or something as simple as dark chocolate to balance out the wine’s luscious.
RESERVE VIDAL Ice Wine
2015 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake
375ml $24.50
The fruit for our Reserve Vidal Icewine comes from our oldest and best vineyards. Our meticulous selection criteria begins in the vineyard and concludes in the cellar where we examine the final wine’s sugar, acidity, pH and alcohol balance to determine if it is worthy of our Reserve Icewine level. A golden straw colour, this Icewine is explosive in the nose and on the pallet. With notes of ripe pear, lychees in syrup, floral aromas and candied citrus on the nose. The palate is intensely mouth-filling with flavours of peach, baking spices and tropical fruits. It’s sweetness is balanced by cleansing acidity which lengthens the finish.This wine is perfect as an aperitif or digestif.
RESERVE CABERNET Ice Wine
2017 VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake
375ml $28.00
The 2017 Riesling Icewine represents a classic take on this noble variety. On the nose there are pronounced aromas of candied lemon, poached pear, honeysuckle, grilled pineapple and mandarin orange. This citrus feel replays throughout the wine and adds a wonderful sense of freshness to the tasting experience. The palate has similarities to the nose but reveals additional flavours of Fuji apple, preserved peach, mango and honey. Although this wine is lusciously sweet, it is extremely well balanced by the natural acidity of the Riesling grape and shows finesse as the flavours slowly fade over a lengthy.
