The moment the thermometre hit -10°C, the Vidal grapes for this Icewine were carefully picked by hand from Niagara-on-the-Lake vineyards. The frozen grapes were then pressed to release the treasured drop of pure extract from each grape. Cool fermentation helped the wine retain fruit concentration and four months of aging in older French and American oak added complexity. The luscious mouthfeel explodes with flavours of papaya, guava, gooseberry and melon. Notes of exotic spice and marmalade linger on the finish, with a final hit of butterscotch, which speaks to the wine's oak aging. This Icewine pairs beautifully with savoury options including paté, foie gras, prosciutto with melon, Thai mango salad, spicy Asian cuisine and Indian curries. After a meal, serve with fruit-based desserts featuring apricots, pears, sweet citrus and tropical fruit. Other delicious dessert pairings include nut-based cakes, Christmas cake and spiced fig cake. Soft, blue-veined cheeses, creamy brie and aged cheddars also do particularly well with this Icewine. Enjoy now through 2018 in small white wine glasses at a well chilled 8 to 10°C.

Country: Canada

For over two hundred years, Canada has been home to several well established wineries producing unique and characterful wines from the grape varietals which flourish in the colder climate which typifies the country's wine producing regions. Most of Canada's wines are produced in British Columbia and in Ontario, where the climatic conditions are more suitable for viticulture, although you can also find successful wineries in many other regions of the country, most notably in southern Quebec and around the shores of Lake Erie. Canada is most well known for its production of ice wine, which is usually a sweet wine made from grapes which have frozen on the vine. However, the past decade has seen Canadian vintners expand their repertoire and begin experimenting with many other wine styles, and incorporating less commonly used grape varietals.
