| SPARKLING VIDAL ICEWINE 2022 VQA Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Charmat method |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
INNISKILLIN |
| This brand new 2022 has a medium gold colour with just a few tiny bubbles slowly meandering upwards. The nose is very sweet and tropical with caramel-driven, warm, baked apple-pear fruit along with some honeyed, spicy notes. Sweet, medium-full bodied, viscous, spicy, honeyed, apple puree and a touch of Seville orange marmalade flavours followed up by a lingering, gently effervescent, butter-tart finish. Tasty and ready-to-drink, it has 9.5% alcohol and 219 g/L residual sugar with 8.1 g/L total acidity. |

| TASTING NOTE: These energetic bubbles deserve respect for fighting through the wine's viscosity to help deliver rich apricot jam and peach sorbet aromas that are to die for. Peaches and apricots return on the palate, spotlighted by a nice amount of acidity. Break out the foie gras - this sparkling ice wine is ready to party. Editors' Choice.
