Product Highlights
Wine & Spirits-New York - Finger Lakes - "This is a late-harvest wine, compelling in its scents of citrus peel, peach, Bananas Foster, Asian pineapple and candied apricot—and zero noble rot. It’s concentrated with a golden purity, more about intensity than complexity at the moment.

OVERVIEW
Geography
Varietal / Type
Ice wine (Eiswein in Germany and icewine in Canada) is a rich, flavorful and rare dessert wine. To make ice wine, the winemaker leaves the grapes on the vine, long after traditional harvest season has ended, hoping neither rain nor hungry wildlife gets the grapes first. As soon as the temperature drops sufficiently and the grapes freeze, the grapes must be picked before dawn, and pressed before they thaw. Because much of the water in the grapes is frozen, the pressed juice is concentrated, rich in flavor and high in sugar and acidity.
