Tasting note

Icewine is Canada's intense sweet wine and this Cabernet Franc version is fragrant with rhubarb, raspberry, blackberries and herbs, while the acidic flavours of redcurrants and pomegranates prevents the considerable sweetness from becoming overpowering.

Vinification

Naturally frozen Cabernet Franc grapes are hand harvested at -10°C. Pressed frozen, releasing only one drop of pure extract from each grape. Fermentation is performed at a cool temperature to retain fruit concentration (a short skin contact for colour and complexity), then 70% of the wine is aged in stainless steel
