THE STORY

About this wine

A 2021 Canadian sparkling Icewine from the Niagara Peninsula — 100% Vidal Blanc picked at an average −10°C and fermented under pressure for a creamy, lively mousse. Peach, mango, yellow apple, honeyed tones and citrus ride the viscous sweetness, and energetic acidity keeps it fresh. Sweet, white, 9.5% ABV, in a 375 ml half-bottle.

Inniskillin Sparkling Vidal Icewine 2021 is a VQA Niagara Peninsula Icewine made at the historic Brae Burn Estate in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The grapes were harvested at an average temperature of -10°C and immediately pressed; the juice measured 37.7° Brix. Fermentation took place under pressure in a Charmat tank at approximately 17°C, producing the wine’s lively effervescence.

Worth knowing

Vidal is a hybrid of Ugni Blanc and Seibel, and its thick skin and naturally high acidity are why it suits late-harvest Icewine so well. This 2021 was fermented under pressure rather than made as a conventional still Icewine.
