2016 Ice Wine

This sweet yellow nectar is vibrant and bursting with flavors such as: apricot preserves, clover honey, baking spices, golden raisins, caramelized sugar and honeysuckle.  We were able to pick and press the grapes without any chance of thawing. Conditions are only right to harvest ice wine when the temperature is below 17 degrees Fahrenheit and the fruit remains frozen until pressed.  Ice wine is not something that we can produce every year.  If the extreme cold doesn’t come, or the birds beat you to it, all is lost.
