Product details
Inniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine is a luxurious expression of Canada's pioneering icewine craftsmanship, produced by Inniskillin—Canada’s first estate winery, founded in 1975 in Ontario’s Niagara Peninsula. The winery gained international acclaim in 1991 when its Vidal Icewine won the Grand Prix d’Honneur at Vinexpo in Bordeaux, firmly establishing Canada’s reputation in the global wine community . This particular Icewine is crafted from Cabernet Franc grapes that are naturally frozen on the vine during the harsh Canadian winter, a process that concentrates the sugars and flavors, resulting in a wine of exquisite sweetness and complexity .
The 2022 vintage of Inniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine presents a decadent profile with an abundance of rhubarb and raspberry aromatics, complemented by flavors of cherry and strawberries and cream . This wine exhibits a beautiful balance of richness and acidity, making it a versatile companion to a variety of desserts. It pairs exceptionally well with dark molten chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, and red fruit-based desserts, or can be enjoyed simply with strawberries and cream . For a more adventurous pairing, consider serving it alongside blue cheeses or rich cream cheeses accompanied with dried cranberries, where its sweetness and acidity can complement the savory and tangy flavors .
