Very Sweet Marmalade |
| LCBO Note |
Status |
 |
| A Silver Medal winner at the 2010 Canadian Wine Awards. TASTING NOTE: Sublime wonderfulness in a glass. Winemaker Dave Sheppard is a very practiced hand at making Icewine, as this Riesling version shows. Deep golden yellow colour with wonderful array of aromas including mango, candied orange rind, marmalade, clover honey and peach preserves. Sweet but not cloying, as the sweet fruits and honey are expertly balanced by fresh acidity. Full bodied with a very, very long sweet/crisp finish. Savour it alone or with some well-aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. (Vintages panel, March 2010) |
