PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Inniskillin 2021 Niagara Estate Riesling Icewine (375 ml) is a captivating and elegantly balanced expression of Canada’s iconic icewine tradition, showcasing the best of Riesling in a sweet yet refreshing format.
Crafted from 100% Riesling grapes harvested in the Niagara Peninsula at approximately −10 °C, the grapes are naturally frozen on the vine before pressing, yielding richly concentrated musts with vibrant acidity.
Unoaked and meticulously fermented, the result is a viscous dessert wine clocking in at about 9.5% ABV.
Delivers intense nose notes of lemon and lime zest, tropical peach, apricot, honeycomb, and a whisper of candied ginger.
Additional layers include toasted walnut, pumpkin pie spice, straw, and dried apricot nuances adding depth.
Taste Profile: A luscious interplay of apricot jam, pineapple, mango, lemon drops, and pumpkin pie, all woven together with candied orange peel and warm spice.
