Mission Hill Five Vineyards Riesling Ice Wine 2006 18.7cl Code: Country: Region: Category: Barcode: Canada Okanagan Valley Dessert Wine 776545995223 Description: Dessert Wine. Naturally frozen on the vine the grapes for this wine were night harvested on January 3, 2005. Ripe apricot, peach and honeyed papaya envelop the palate. The natural sweetness in the wine is kept in check by a vibrant acidity resulting in a truly rare and decadent treat. Background: Naturally frozen on the vine, grapes destined for Icewine production are painstakingly hand harvested at temperatures of -8 C or colder. As the frozen grapes are pressed, only a few precious drops of concentrated juice are obtained. At Mission Hill Family Estate, Icewine isn't made every year. They wait for Mother Nature's blessing. Under the watchful eye of winemaker John Simes, the grapes are harvested and turned into a delicately balanced aromatic wine. Technically challenging, time consuming and very risky, Icewine is truly an art and is considered to be a delicacy worldwide. BUY 2 FOR £15.95 EACH. SAVE £4.00 !!
