| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
REIF ESTATE |
| Bright ambering yellow gold colour. Very sweet, intense, warm baked apple puree nose. Very sweet, medium bodied, gently viscous, harmonious, honeyed, spicy, apple-melon-apricot puree flavours with a lifted, Seville orange marmalade-tinged finish. A great buy for those who are looking for high-quality, reasonably-priced icewine. Has 10% alcohol and 204 g/L residual sugar. Even better than the 2013 which last appeared in Vintages (***) with 90-points on September 19, 2015 at $24.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Reif Estate Winery produced one of Canada's first Icewines. This one is sourced from Vidal grapes planted in 1981 and it offers intense cantaloupe, stone fruit and fig, with vibrant acidity and a long, rich finish. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2016) |
