2009 Vidal Icewine VQA Certified Organic & Biodynamic

Wine Lovers' Notes:
In the Glass
Tropical fruit, on ice! Luscious nose of pineapple and apricot. Clean and crisp flavours of apple, peach and pear, with a balanced, refreshing finish.

"A world first! Southbrook Vineyards is Canada's first certified biodynamic winery and as Icewine is a "made in Canada only" product, this is a first for the world! From grapes which are also certified organic and only wild yeast for fermentation. An excellent gift for wine lovers, leading-edgers and sweet-tooths. A proud Canadian choice too! Extremely limited quantity. Available from the winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake only". - On the Go Magazine
"It is pleasantly light and delicate, bearing none of the thick, overly sweet attributes of some dessert wines. For a wine so concentrated, it brings a freshness to the nose, a spring in its step to the palate. A touch of peaches and apricots and a light, creamy mix of other fruit, but all nicely restrained and balanced, as is the acidity. A lovely burnt orange wave on the finish. As with the best of dessert wines, it lingers without overwhelming. It makes room for a little more". - Kevin Major, OneBrilliantBottle.com
In your Life
For a change of place, try with a White Stilton instead of the blue one. Like all of our icewines, this one can also BE dessert!
