A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
This was awarded a Silver Medal at the 2014 National Wine Awards of Canada. When it comes to Icewine, few can hold a candle to Inniskillin and even fewer when you are talking of the lively sparkling version. Sparkling Icewine is (if you will pardon the pun) a very cool take on a classic Ontario style and the bubbles create a beguiling sense of dryness on the tongue in this very sweet wine. Icewine is always a great way to end a holiday meal, and the sparkle here makes it an even more festive choice. |
