Our 2017 Estate Ice Wine is a completely natural ice wine picked after an early November frost. The aromatic nose contains tradition Vidal Blanc stone and tropical fruit notes, brightened by honeysuckle and spring flowers. Most importantly, the wine maintains acidity on the palate throughout. This brings critical balance to the wine, with flavors of candied lemon, red apple, and apricot; so dynamic you forget it's sweet!
Eiswein has been a tradition in Germany and Austria that has also gained popularity in the US. The grapes are left on the vine to purposefully over-ripen and freeze through the first winter frost. Picked frozen, the wine, then, offers a phenomenal concentration of natural sugar and fruit flavors.
