Description

Stratus Icewine Red 2018

Sweet without being cloying or overpowering. The residual sugar is on the low end for an Icewine and well balanced by the fresh acidity and above average alcohol. This is fruit first followed by sweetness. Lots of cherry, raspberry jam, candy apple, and a touch of cinnamon spice rolling through onto a luxurious finish.

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot.

Two acres comprised of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot were picked for Icewine Red when temperatures plummeted below freezing

Fruity & Rich Desserts

Characterised by notes of rich fruit jam/compote with a touch of spice, expect notes of prunes, plums, chocolate and spice.

Many are fortified, or are made from passito grapes
