Production Notes
Our grapes are allowed to ripen fully in the heat of the hot desert summer and then left to naturally freeze on the vines until temperatures drop below -8°C. Often there is only a day or so to hand pick and press the frozen grapes, which are then skillfully vinted to produce our award winning Icewines. These grapes were harvested in November 2013 when a rare daytime cold snap came over the valley.
Winemaker Notes
We use only the finest Sauvignon Blanc grapes to produce the first 100% sauvignon blanc Icewine in Canada.
Food Pairing Notes
To be enjoyed on its own as a liquid dessert or as an accompaniment to desserts and cheeses.
For a tropical feel pair with fresh sliced pineapple or for those with a sweet-tooth, try it with some 70% dark cacao chocolate.
