Wine: 2023 Vidal Icewine Winemaker's Notes: Palatine Hills Estate Winery is nestled in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake, just steps from Lake Ontario, where the unique moderating climate fosters the growth of premium grape varieties. To craft this exceptional Vidal Icewine, we wait patiently for the coldest winter months when temperatures dip below -10°C. Grapes are picked when the berries are fully frozen, concentrating the flavours to deliver a remarkably low yield of juice. This Vidal Icewine shines with a bright golden straw hue, offering aromas of ripe peach, candied tangerine, marmalade, and honey, with a subtle spice undertone. On the palate, the luscious sweetness is beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, leaving a long, smooth finish that lingers. Enjoy this delightful wine on its own, or pair it with soft, pungent cheeses, smoked meats, baked portobello mushrooms, or dark chocolate desserts. For a twist, drizzle it over ice cream or incorporate it into your favourite cocktail. Alcohol by Volume: 14.9% Total Reducing Sugars: 127.3 g/L Brix Level: 37.3° Vineyard: Neufeld Farm
