Aromatic and BUTTERSCOTCH on the nose. It's not subtle. On the palate it's med+ acid, full body, with pear, buttered popcorn, creme brûlée and clear malolactic. Lees (obviously) and finally a med+ finish. Only for people that like this style. — 11 years ago
Founded by Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser in 1975, Inniskillin is Canada's pioneering icewine producer, bringing the Niagara Peninsula global attention. Today, they remain masters of this unmistakably Canadian delicacy. While the Riesling icewines may be the most refined and complex, and the red Cabernet Franc renditions the most flamboyant (especially in its sparkling form), there's something about the icewines made from Vidal, a hybrid variety, that is so gratifyingly pleasurable. Juicy, and drippingly palate-coating, the wine oozes lush, ripe flavors of orange peel, mango, bruised peach and apricot, nuanced by a pollenous, floral quality. — 6 years ago
