What is Icewine?
Icewine is produced from grapes naturally frozen on the vine at -8°C or below. Because only the water freezes, the sugars and flavour compounds become highly concentrated before pressing — resulting in a small yield of intensely sweet, complex juice. This rarity makes icewine one of the world's most prized dessert wines, with Canada (particularly Ontario) the world's leading producer.
