Peller Signature Riesling Icewine 2019 VQA 200mL

WINE MAKING

Our Andrew Peller Icewine is made from naturally frozen Riesling grapes harvested from Niagara-on-the-Lake vineyards at -12°C. The grapes are pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Fermentation is performed at a cool temperature to retain fruit concentration, then aged in stainless steel.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Bright lemon gold colour with an intriguing aroma of Meyer lemon, golden kiwi, starfruit, and floral honey. This Riesling Icewine has an elegant, luxurious mouthfeel and flavours of citrus candies and golden pineapple. The great balance between acidity and sweetness provides exceptional texture on the palate. Notes of citrus marmalade, lemon drops, and delicate honey linger endlessly on the finish.
