Best of Show/Best Icewine/Best British Columbia Wine 2010 Northwest Wine Summit

This Riesling Icewine is lush and decadent yet vibrant and exciting, with the hallmark, sweet-tart character of great Riesling Icewine. The wine offers a wonderful bouquet and flavours of citrus, green apple, guava and praline with mouthwatering persistence and length.

From the winery - Naturally frozen on the vine, grapes destined for Icewine production are painstakingly hand harvested at temperatures of -8°C or colder. As the frozen grapes are pressed, only a few precious drops of concentrated juice are obtained.

At Mission Hill Family Estate, Icewine isn’t made every year. We wait for Mother Nature’s blessing. Under the watchful eye of winemaker John Simes, the grapes are harvested and turned into a delicately balanced, aromatic wine. Technically challenging, time consuming and very risky, Icewine is truly an art and is considered to be a delicacy.
