Cabernet Franc is an unlikely, but interesting candidate for Icewine. With its brilliant red colour and rich flavours, this vintage has produced a rare and exceptional red Icewine with an abundance of primary fruit aromas on the nose, strawberries and cream on the palate and a long, smooth lingering finish.

Ideally suited to winter season on the Niagara Peninsula, the magical process of crafting Icewine is guided by nature, the harvest can't begin until temperatures drop below minus eight degrees Celsius for a sustained period of time. Grapes are left on the vine well into the winter months to concentrate and intensify the flavours, as water content freezes, thaws and dehydrates in each precious Icewine grape. Icewine pickers arrive, often in the dead of night, to harvest the frozen clusters. The precious grapes are immediately pressed in the extreme cold to extract the luscious nectar, the water content in each grape remains frozen in crystals, leaving only a few coveted drops of concentrated, intense liquid

The brick red hue of this grape variety produces a unique and brilliant red-coloured Icewine. There's an abundance of candied red berry aromas on the nose and the savoury essence of fresh strawberries and cream on the palate. Inniskillin is intense, sweet and sumptuous, yet balanced with brilliant acidity, creating a unique sensation on the palate. Renowned for intense fruit characters, Inniskillin is truly a natural wonder and extreme winemaking at its best.
