Inniskillin |
From the Vintages Essential Collection comes Canada’s original sweet wine icon. The 1989 vintage of this wine put Canadian Icewine on the world map when the wine won the Grand Prix d'Honneur at the 1991 Vinexpo. Medium gold colour. Intense, sweet, complex, caramel-tinged, tropical fruit cocktail nose. Very sweet, medium bodied, mouthfilling, fairly spicy, gentle tropical fruit cocktail and caramel flavours with a tangy, warm, fairly viscous finish. |
