Tasting Notes
This premium icewine delivers a lusciously smooth texture balanced by natural acidity, creating a harmonious and memorable tasting experience. Expect powerful aromas and concentrated flavours of:
-
Ripe apricots
-
Sun-dried peaches
-
Candied orange zest
-
Dried figs
The finish is long and satisfying, with a velvety mouthfeel and lingering sweetness that pairs beautifully with rich desserts or blue cheeses.
Winemaking & Terroir
Harvested from frozen Vidal grapes at peak ripeness, the fruit is pressed before thawing to capture the highly concentrated sugars and acidity. Fermentation takes place slowly in stainless steel tanks over 10 to 14 weeks, followed by an additional four months of maturation on lees. This process preserves the purity and freshness of the Pelee Island terroir, ensuring the wine remains vibrant and complex.

Winery | The vineyards are managed using sustainable principles. No insecticides are used in the vineyards, and only a 100% island-grown natural fertiliser, sorghum soudan grass, is applied. The soil is made of Toledo clay with a limestone base found two to ten feet from the surface. The soils are well-developed and highly calcareous, indicative of good fertility and intense biological activity. The ideal vineyard sites are located at the island's centre, where deeper soils encourage and ensure properly set root systems, as much of the island is concave and below the surface of Lake Erie drainage pipes expel excessive rainfall. This excess water is carried into the island's century-old dyke system. Winds off the lake ensure consistent airflow through the vineyards, limiting humidity and possible disease. The Vidal grapes for the Icewine are harvested during the third week of December, once they have reached 40 degrees Brix and are picked while still thoroughly frozen. |
