Inniskillin Niagra Estate Riesling Icewine 2018 (Gift Boxed)
Grapes for the classic Inniskillin Riesling Icewine are harvested from select vineyards of the cool climate Niagara Peninsula. Thanks to the warming influence of Lake Ontario and the Niagara River, the region's temperatures during the fruit-ripening phase are moderate and consistent. Picked at -10°C, the frozen grapes were pressed immediately, removing the ice crystals to leave a small amount of highly concentrated juice. This Riesling Icewine has an abundance of vibrant lemon, lime and white peach aromas on the nose and palate. Concentrated and richly flavoured the wine is balanced by a crisp lively acidity.
