icewine
Cold-harvested sweet vintage
Icewine is a sweet dessert wine made from grapes that have frozen naturally on the vine.
The freezing concentrates the sugars, producing an intensely sweet, rich wine typically served in small portions.
Most icewine comes from Canada and Germany, where cold climates allow reliable harvests: We finished dinner with a glass of icewine.
