Product Notes

Pelee Island Winery Vidal Icewine is a luxurious dessert wine made from frozen Vidal grapes grown on the beautiful Pelee Island in Lake Erie. The grapes are left on the vine until they are frozen solid, then carefully harvested and pressed to extract the sweet nectar. This results in a rich, golden wine that is a perfect complement to any dessert or cheese platter. The wine is bursting with flavors of honey, apricot and candied citrus, with a crisp acidity that balances the sweetness. Pelee Island Winery Vidal Icewine is a true Canadian treasure and a must-try for any wine lover.

Tasting Notes

This dessert wine is lusciously sweet and smooth with rich, concentrated aromas of apricots and peaches and notes of orange zest, dried apricot and fig.
