Grand Pre Vidal Icewine 200ml (200ml)

Though Canada is famous for its icewine and Nova Scotia was once only known for this style, this sweet elixir is becoming a rarity due to global warming.  Nova Scotians complain about the cold, but we often don’t get the deep freeze needed to produce this unique luxury product every vintage.  In order to make icewine, the temperatures have to hit -8 °C and -10 °C in November or December and remain there long enough for the harvest.  

Icewine is made from frozen grapes, hand harvested at night in the bitter cold.  A cool, slow fermentation results in a very complex, full bodied dessert wine. The golden nectar is very concentrated, high in sugar, flavour and balanced acidity.
