Produced from juice of naturally frozen grapes, handpicked at night in the middle of the cold Canadian winter at about 15ºF. Grapes pressed when frozen yielding a drop of concentrated flavor. Medium amber color with pronounced aromas of ripe and dried stone fruits. On the palate flavors of peach, dried apricots and honey marmalade. Full-bodied, high acidity, long glorious finish ending with sweet candied fruit. Outstanding. Tasting Sample.

The best ice wine from Peller Estates. Not too fruity and sweet, and just enough detectable alcohol to enhance the flavors.

Syrup-y sweet, even for dessert wine. Not for me!

Our favorite of the 4 ice wines. Would be great with a rich dessert, cheese plate or even as a stand alone dessert
