Occasional wine note

The Germans are not the only ones who know how to make a spectacular icewine from Riesling. This is a special wine perfect to pair with a well prepared dessert. This wine has an amazing balance between acidity and sweetness, akin to what you'd expect from wines from the Mosel at prices more than 2x the price. These wines take quite a bit to produce as each bunch produces very little juice. This was absolutely made with meticulous care and workmanship.

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Enthusiast

This is a glorious icewine where acidity and sugar are in perfect harmony. The candied orange peel, ginger, straw and toasted walnut and straw are a mere preview of what's to come. These intense flavors of apricot jam, pumpkin pie and lemon drops are matched by electric acidity.

Wine Spectator

A concentrated, yet elegant dessert white highlighted by piercing aromas of dried apricot, kumquat, honeysuckle and lanolin. Features pure apricot and poached peach flavors underlined by vibrant acidity.
