| This Icewine is full of sweet strawberry and ripe cherry character. The producer suggests matching it with fruit-based desserts, or you can try Pelham’s signature Kir Catharine: pour 1 ounce of this Cabernet Franc Icewine into 3 ounces of a trraditional-method sparkler, such as their Cuvée Catharine Brut. |
