THE STORY OF ICEWINE

Icewine is a late harvest wine produced from the juice of grapes that have been frozen on the vine and pressed while frozen. It is valued for its rarity, sweetness, intensity of aroma and flavour, and – not least of all – its purity. Emerging onto the scene in the late 1980s was a new kid on the block, who in very short time has become to dominate the global Icewine scene in terms of both quantity and arguably – quality — Canada.
