The harvest occurs at the pinnacle of Canada's crisp winter.
Exceptional grapes, naturally frozen on the vine, are delicately handpicked and carefully pressed throughout the night. Grapes, picked frozen solid from the vines, were manually loaded into the presses without de-stemming or crushing, and were pressed at an ambient temperature of -10?C or colder. This technique yields only a fraction
of the normal yield (approximately 10 - 20%) as most of the natural water portion of the juice remains in the press in the form of ice crystals. During the pressing the water in the grapes remains frozen as ice crystals, and is easily extracted from the juice. What remains are a few precious drops of silky sweet unadulterated liquid. Once guided through our arduous fermentation, the resulting wine can only be hailed as the Nectar of the Gods.
Foie Gras - pan seared or terrine, and spiced Asian cuisine.
Cheeses - Rich blue veined & selected cream based - Roquefort, Saga, Cambonzola, blue ermite, le ciel de charlevoix, bleu de la moutonniere, bleubry, cayer, cabrales, devon cream, torta and gorgonzola.
What should be avoided are extremely sweet desserts, as they will diminish the wonderful enlightening acidity in Icewine and
create a cloying unpleasant effect on your palate."
