Gently sweet, medium bodied, spicy, honeyed, bright, fruity, ripe apple-melon flavours with a lingering, gently effervescent finish.

After 12-14 months on lees the wine is disgorged and a 90 ml dosage of Vidal Icewine is added.

| TASTING NOTE: Uncanny once again in that the aromas are so very Icewine, of vidal so notable, like caramelized apricot and orange, glazed and syrupy, as if in upside down cake. The dosage may be small as compared to the sparkling quantity but this acts as much Icewine as it does Sparkling. Not unusual considered the law: \"The wine shall be a sparkling wine that meets all requirements of an Icewine and a Sparkling Wine.\" This follows to the letter of that law. Drink 2020-2023. Last tasted October 2020. Score - 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) |
