What is
Icewine

Authentic Icewine can only be produced under favorable and specific weather conditions, which can be found in Canada and Germany The grapes have to stay frozen solid on the vines at 15° F (-9° C). As the grapes freeze and thaw repeatedly, flavors become concentrated, and moisture slowly dissipates from the grapes. Once harvested, the grapes are transferred into a hydraulic press that helps to extract the remaining moisture leaving behind the true essence of the grape – in the form of a thick syrup with savory potent flavors and sugar content. Once completely fermented, the final product is attained – a rich aromatic Icewine perfect for sipping after a meal or dessert. Only a few sips will arouse the palette leaving behind a soothing and gratifying experience of an authentic Icewine.
