Description
Harvested during the first frigid hours of a Niagara-on-the-Lake winter, Peller Estates Cabernet Franc Ice Wine captures the magic that has made Canadian icewine legendary worldwide. The grapes are left to freeze naturally on the vine until temperatures drop to at least –8 °C, concentrating sugars, acids, and aromatics before they are hand-picked and pressed while still frozen. The result is a jewel-toned ruby nectar with explosive richness in every sip.
Lift the glass and you’ll find swirling aromas of wild strawberry preserves, raspberry coulis, candied rhubarb, and a whisper of rose petal. On the palate, luxurious sweetness is perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity, creating a silky, mouth-coating texture that never feels cloying. Notes of cranberry, pomegranate, and red currant evolve into decadent layers of crème brûlée, vanilla bean, and subtle baking spice on the lingering finish.
Serve well-chilled alongside flourless chocolate cake, goat cheese crostini with berry compote, or even spice-rubbed duck breast to experience sublime harmony. A 750 mL bottle offers enough liquid treasure to share at the holiday table or to pour after an elegant dinner party.
