Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Aromatics of fresh orange, spice, lemon, and lime. On the palate this rich and elegant wine shows great texture with concentrated flavors of peach and apricot, along with a hint of clove, balanced by a crisp and lively acidity.

Pair with brie with lavender honey; firm, aged Cheddar or your favorite paté with pear and peach chutney; seared scallops with apple celery slaw; classic baked apples.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Thick and lush, bursting with apricot, beeswax, tangerine and honey flavors. This is cut with lively acidity, staying brisk and defined on the long finish. The aftertaste evokes fresh, ripe apple. Drink now through 2018.
  • 93
    A thoroughly dazzling wine that brings focused, complex notes of honey, pineapple and dried apricot. At 266 g/L residual sugar, it’s thick, rich and luscious, with the grape’s natural acidity carrying the flavors through to a long, lively and lingering finish.

Inniskillin, Canada
Inniskillin Winery Image
Austrian-born and monastically educated, Karl J. Kaiser, and native Canadian Donald J.P. Ziraldo, a decendant of a family of winegrowers in Northern Italy, founded Innisklillin Wines on July 31, 1975, obtaining the first winery license granted in the province of Ontario since 1929. Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake at the historic Brae Burn Estate, Inniskillin was founded upon and is dedicated to the principle of producing outstanding wines from vinifera wine grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula. Karl and Donald tirelessly tested the new ground of Niagara, grafting old-world wisdom in the new-world terroir. Inniskillin rocketed to international notoriety when its pioneering 1989 Vidal Icewine was awarded the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Vinexpo 1991, and drew worldwide attention to Canada's burgeoning wine industry.

What is Icewine?
VQA Icewine is a highly concentrated dessert wine made by harvesting grapes naturally frozen on the vine at -10 C in December-January. Inniskillin VQA Icewine is internationally awarded and recognized and is exported throughout the world.

Apart from the classics, we find many regional gems of different styles.

Late harvest wines are probably the easiest to understand. Grapes are picked so late that the sugars build up and residual sugar remains after the fermentation process. Ice wine, a style founded in Germany and there referred to as eiswein, is an extreme late harvest wine, produced from grapes frozen on the vine, and pressed while still frozen, resulting in a higher concentration of sugar. It is becoming a specialty of Canada as well, where it takes on the English name of ice wine.

Vin Santo, literally “holy wine,” is a Tuscan sweet wine made from drying the local white grapes Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia in the winery and not pressing until somewhere between November and March.

Rutherglen is an historic wine region in northeast Victoria, Australia, famous for its fortified Topaque and Muscat with complex tawny characteristics.

Home of the Niagara Peninsula wine region, Ontario leads as Canada’s region with the most area under vine. Ontario’s main grape varieties include Merlot, Pinot noir, Cabernet Franc and Riesling. The latter two show great success here for the production of ice wines, along with Vidal blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
