The Ice House Winery
14778 Niagara Parkway
Icewines made by the Wineries of the Niagara-on-the-Lake receive top recognition around the world. They are made from grapes that have naturally frozen on the vine. The solidly frozen grapes are handpicked when the thermometer lowers to -8° C. The fruits are pressed immediately to gently release a single drop of thick, rich, yellow-gold liquid, highly concentrated in natural sugars and acidity. Although the result yields a small quantity, the quality is a sumptuous and perfectly sweet wine.
In general, icewines are too sweet for me. I tasted 5 different icewines:
- Northern Ice Gewürztraminer
- Northern Ice Riesling
- Northern Ice Cabernet Sauvignon
- Northern Ice Vidal
- Northern Ice Cabernet Franc
