An Ice Wine is the rare quality of dessert wine that is made from frozen grapes. Under the chilling temperature of -10 to -12°Celcius, the grapes are hand picked and allowed to ferment for months to produce Ice wines. As the grapes are frozen, they contain a highly concentrated mixture of sugar and acids which accounts for its rich taste which makes it different and exceptional from other wines.
Generally grapes used to produce ice wines include Riesling and Vidal though lately the red grape Cabernet Franc is also been used to make red ice wines. Riesling Ice wines have more acidity than Vidal ice wines. However Vidal grapes have become a popular choice for ice wines due to their tough skin required to survive long hanging period.
Available as Vidal, Riesling, Cabernet Franc and Oak aged, ice wines must be consumed with the right kind of food. To have an enriching experience one must know the art of pairing food with the type of ice wine. Thee are number of wineries in Niagara region of Ontario which offer an extensive variety of ice wines including the most latest ones like Sparkling and Syrah ice wines.

Straw Wine


Straw Wine


$68.51


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Straw wine, or raisin wine, is a wine made from grapes that have been dried to concentrate their juice. The result is similar to that of the ice wine process, but suitable for warmer climates. The classic method dries clusters of grapes on mats of straw in the sun, but some regions dry them under cover, some hang up the grapes, and the straw may be replaced by modern racks. The technique dates back to preRoman times, and most production of these wines has been in Northern Italy and the French Alps. However producers in other areas are now starting to experiment with the method. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
