Inniskillin Vidal Ice Wine VQA is a celebrated Canadian dessert wine crafted by Inniskillin Wines, located in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula. This wine is made from 100% Vidal grapes, a varietal particularly suited to the icy climates needed to naturally freeze the berries on the vine. Harvested at the peak of winter, the grapes are pressed while still frozen, producing a concentrated nectar that results in an intensely sweet and aromatic wine. The strict regulations governing Ice Wine production in the VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) ensure the highest quality and authenticity. Notable for its rich legacy, Inniskillin has been a pioneer in the development of Ice Wine, helping it gain international acclaim. This particular wine has won numerous accolades for its purity and elegance.
