Nose
On the bouquet you will find a ton of aromatic complexity through notes such as dried apricot, canned pear and ripe peaches.
Palate
The mouth-feel is round and viscous with plenty of sweet, ripe layers of stone fruit lingering in the finish. Firm acidity brings character, balance and life to this wine and ensures great aging potential.
Growing Conditions
A small portion of one of the top tier blocks was left at a low yield until late in the season to ensure optimum ripeness, intense fruit flavors and appropriate sugar level at harvest.
Harvest
The frozen clusters were handpicked in ice cold conditions at a brix level of 48 degrees.
Bottling
375mL bottles.
Winemaking
The golden berries were then slowly pressed and carefully fermented with a selected yeast strain for about 3- 4 weeks. We implemented slow fermentation at cool temperatures to bring out vibrant fruit characteristics.
Aging
After fermentation it spent precious time in neutral French oak for about 20 months to mature to perfection.
Food Pairing
Blue cheese, duck confit with apricot relish, as well as grilled shrimp skewers with Asian spice, will complement our Ice wine well.
