Description
Lakeview Cellars Vidal Icewine 2019
Lakeview Cellars Vidal Icewine is a fresh and lively classic Vidal Icewine. Notes of honey, peach, lychee, pineapple and freshly cut citrus fruits. The complex palate has an acidic backbone to create a harmonious balance.
100% Vidal. The grapes for lakeview wines come from the best vineyards in the Niagara region and benefit from the coastal breezes of Lake Ontario. The wines all bear the “VQA Niagara Peninsula” seal. VQA stands for “Vintners Quality Alliance”, an appellation and regulation system for original Canadian wines that guarantees quality and authenticity.
Harvesting the frozen Vidal grapes in mid-December when temperatures fell between -10 and -13. After settling the juice in stainless steel tanks, cool fermentation was completed in mid-February when the wine was placed outdoors to stop fermentation and complete a natural cold stabilisation.
