Though icewine's roots can be traced to centuries-old German winemakers, there is nothing more quintessentially Canadian than this luscious luxury borne of patience and subzero bravura. Grapes are left on the vine well into the winter months to concentrate and intensify the flavors as water content freezes, thaws and dehydrates in each precious icewine grape. Ideally suited to the Canadian winter season in the Niagara Peninsula, the magical process of crafting Icewine is guided by nature — triggered by the snap of the wintry elements, the harvest can't begin until temperatures drop to -8˚C for a sustained period of time.
