Exclusively Vidal grapes grown on the Niagara Peninsula, fermented to capture the natural petulance of the grapes, and bottled without oak treatment. The entire vineyard is carefully covered with netting to protect the sweet, ripe berries from ravaging birds. Some of the crop is always lost to wind damage and the weight of snow. Harvested at the zenith of Canada's crisp winter, the grapes are naturally frozen on the vine and picked when the temperature drops to -10C. The removal of ice crystals from frozen grapes during pressing concentrates the juice, achieving the rich and alluring nectar known as Icewine. Treated to fermentation in sealed vessels which trap naturally occurring carbonation in the wine. Approx 9.0%
