Peller Signature Series Vidal Oak Aged Icewine 2018 VQA 200mL

WINE MAKING
Our Andrew Peller Signature Series Icewine is made from naturally frozen Vidal grapes harvested from Niagara Peninsula vineyards at -10°C. Pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Fermented at a cool temperature to retain fruit concentration, then aged in older French oak barrels for four months for added complexity.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
Bright yellow gold colour with an aromatic bouquet of ripe peach, tropical fruit, yellow plum and sweet spice. A luscious, rich and silky mouthfeel with explosive flavours of tropical fruit, guava and toffee. Notes of custard, orange sorbet and tropical fruit linger through on the finish. The amazing concentration of acidity softens the sweetness of the wine and leaves a wonderfully balanced finish.
