This wine is produced by Peller Estates in the Niagara Peninsula, a region internationally recognised for its ability to produce high-quality Icewine. Peller Estates has played a key role in establishing Canada’s reputation in this category, focusing on precision viticulture and carefully timed harvests. Riesling is particularly well-suited to Icewine production due to its naturally high acidity, which provides structure and balance to the concentrated sweetness.
The grapes are left to freeze naturally on the vine and are harvested in the depths of winter at temperatures below minus 8 degrees Celsius. Pressing occurs while the fruit remains frozen, extracting a small amount of intensely concentrated juice rich in sugar and acidity. Fermentation is slow and controlled, preserving purity and aromatic definition. Positioned as a premium dessert wine, this style showcases both the clarity and elegance that Riesling can achieve when combined with the unique conditions of Icewine production.
