About the Wine
Imagine a wine so rare and luxurious, it's like nature bottled winter itself. The frozen grapes are handpicked at just the right moment, capturing an incredibly concentrated sweetness. This careful process, along with the small amount of wine produced, makes ice wine a true treasure. It’s not just a treat but a premium indulgence, perfect for those who love the finer things in life.
Icewine, or ‘Eiswein,’ traces its origins to the frosty vineyards of Germany and Austria, with Canada now standing as a premier producer. The grapes are left on the vine well into winter, freezing naturally before being swiftly harvested and pressed. The result? A luscious, sweet wine that’s high in sugar and rich in character.
The frozen Gewurztraminer grapes were meticulously harvested in late December, at the perfect chill between 14ºF and 8ºF. Following a precise cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes natural cold stabilization outdoors, completing its journey to perfection.
Tasting Notes
Residual Sugar: 202 gr/lt.
100% Gewurztraminer. This extraordinary dessert wine has a vibrant character. It bursts with lively notes of orange zest, candied mango, and delicate floral tones. On the palate, you’ll discover a rich tapestry of apple, ginger, and a hint of cider, creating a symphony of flavors that dance with every sip.
