2021 Inniskillin Vidal Niagara Icewine Half Bottle 37.5cl In Presentation Box
£44.00
“Papaya sorbet and peach pie aromas are accented by a saline and spice note similar to a handful of pepitas. The ice wine’s thick texture matches perfectly with a rich flavor of orange marmalade filled with chunks of ginger. Searing acidity keeps everything feeling lively. ”

Product Description
These are the wines that have put Canadian Icewine on the map. Established in 1975 by Austrian chemist Karl Kaiser and Italian-Canadian agriculture graduate Donald Ziraldo, Inniskillin is now synonymous with top-quality Icewine, a fact underlined by the numerous awards they have won. Following Kaiser’s retirement in 2006, Bruce Nicholson joined Inniskillin in Niagara as senior winemaker. Born and raised in the Niagara Peninsula, Bruce sits on the technical committee of the Vintners’ Quality Alliance in Ontario (VQA) and the Committee for Sustainable Winemaking of the Wine Council of Ontario. Bruce has become Canada’s most awarded winemaker, with many accolades including the Gran Premio from Vinitaly for his Icewine, in addition to being twice named Top Winemaker at the San Francisco International Wine Challenge.
With the temperature dropping to –10C the Vidal grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula were picked and pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. The viscous juice was allowed to cold settle for three days after which time it was racked clean and inoculated with a specific strain of yeast and was fermented in new French Oak at an average temperature of 15C for 16 days. The wine was allowed to age an additional three months in oak before racking.
