Wine Description:

Fine Estate Cabernet Franc Icewine from Inniskillin. Few wines are as hard to make. Fewer still deliver the delicately balanced acidity and itensely rich sweetness achieved by harvesting in the extreme cold of the Canadian winter. Our best grapes are left to freeze on the vine until the mercury hits precisely -10°C. Calculated pressing releases the highly concentrated juice, imparting unique characteristics that define this remarkably delicious icewine of the North.

Tasting Note:

This Icewine has notes of jammy strawberries, raspberries and ripe ruhbarb. While the palate shows a robust concentration of red fruits, complemented by a well balanced acidity.
