Jackson Triggs Ice Wine Riesling 375 ml

Sipping this wine as I type, marvelling at how delicious it is, how long the finish, the interesting crisp hint of green apple, the rich sweet fruit, the racy acidity, the freshness. And I opened this bottle a month ago. Wine Press NW Double Gold. The intensely sweet, rich and exotic, densely packed flavours of apple, pear and tropical fruit are backed by crisp acidity with an extended elegant finish.

Wine Press NW says: "This large B.C. winery collects well-earned accolades throughout the year for its fabulous ice wines. One of the secrets is using Riesling, which seems to retain its natural acidity far longer than it should. This is a sweet, intense wine with aromas and flavors of honey, apples, pears and apricots. Won double gold at the International Eastern Wine Competition and golds at the L.A. County Fair, Northwest Wine Summit and Okanagan Fall Wine Festival Competition."
