Inniskillin Niagara Riesling Icewine is a signature wine produced in the heart of Canada’s Niagara Peninsula. This exquisite wine is crafted from late-harvested Riesling grapes that are naturally frozen on the vine, allowing for the concentration of flavors and sugar content. The unique terroir of the Niagara region, with its cold winters and warm summers, provides an ideal environment for producing high-quality icewine. After carefully hand-harvesting the grapes in the frigid temperatures, the juice is meticulously fermented to retain its bright aromas and rich flavors. This Riesling Icewine is known for its complex layers of ripe stone fruit, honey, and vibrant citrus notes, all complemented by a refreshing acidity that balances the wine’s natural sweetness. It has received numerous accolades and awards, affirming its status as a distinguished dessert wine.
