A mild rich butteryness, mild pear, a smooth easy drinking chard — 4 years ago
This is exactly what it’s supposed to be. Problem is that it’s not exactly what I want in wine. Dessert Wine: yes yes the syrupy aroma clearly lets you know what’s ahead. The fruit flavors are hidden behind the nectar but full flavored and fulfilling its purpose. — 4 years ago
Fantastic body, smooth and dry with strong berry flavours — 5 years ago
Thank you Dad! What a perfect dessert wine to share among close friends and family.... A gathering to remember! — 5 years ago
Lovely wine to sip on during a movie night. Complex but easy drinking. This blended wine has best of both worlds, the easy drinking of the cab sav with the complex peppery notes of the Shiraz. Would drink again. — 6 years ago

A bit sweet, which I like. Smooth finish. I hate that nasty aftertaste common to so many white wines. — 5 years ago
very good point grigio, easy drinking, a twitch sweeter than others. — 5 years ago
Wine tasting @ Inniskillin, Niagara on the Lake. Love this Chardonnay, apple, apricot, medium body, well balance. — 6 years ago
Really great depth of flavour ranging from raspberry preserves, to macintosh apples, to an earthy, tobacco-y finish that’s pleasant and leaves you gushing. — 6 years ago
Deep burnt orange in color with a lighter orange cream mousse and tiny bubbles. Wonderful nose of dried apricots and honeysuckle. This is echoed on the rich (of course) palate. Lowish (medium minus) acidity — it’s Vidal after all — offset by the tingle of the bubbles. Stone fruity moderate finish. Hard to dislike any icewine, even if it’s Vidal, and the bubbles add a surprising element of fun to this one. A nice celebratory dessert wine to drink with your birthday cake or New Year’s pudding. Will likely lose some bubbles after a decade, but should satisfy through 2039 and beyond. — 3 years ago
Utterly delish, want to impress but not break the bank… this one — 4 years ago
Happy International #RieslingDay to all my fellow Riesling fans 🥂
Mr. Spittoon and I decided to delve into the cellar and we pulled out this @inniskillinwines 2017 Icewine Riesling from the Okanagan Valley in Canada 🇨🇦
My brother and sister-in-law gave this to us in 2019 after their visit to Canada (which is the worlds largest ice wine producer!).
What is Icewine 🧊🥂?
It’s not wine you add ice too 😯
But it is wine which is made from frozen grapes 🍇. The grapes naturally freeze on the vines and are picked when the temperature drops below -9 degrees Celsius 🥶
Not much liquid comes out of the grapes when they are pressed. So what comes out is super concentrated and full of luxurious flavour 🤤
The natural high acidity in Riesling grapes means the variety is perfect for Icewine production 🙌
I’m not a big sweet wine drinker but when they have that perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, they are pure magic in the mouth 👌
And this Riesling Icewine was exactly that! From its beautiful golden amber colour to the mouthwatering aromas of juicy oranges, Manuka honey and stone fruits. The flavours flow through to the palate and it’s a true pleasure to drink with its lovely acidity. We matched it with cheese, prosciutto and crackers - which were the perfect compliment 👌

Blue fruit (blueberries, blackberries) on the nose; strawberries dominate on the palate. — 3 years ago
