The most challenging grape variety to make icewine with, the early cold of winter in the Short Hills Bench allows for a consistently high quality Riesling Icewine to be made every year. Perfumed and “citrusy” with richness. Further aging will enhance nuances of mineral, evolved and dried fruits and honey.
WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Attractive in youth, this icewine will cellar for at least 15 years, in part due to the removal of Botrytis Affected fruit. Yields of approximately 15 hL/ha. Fermented in stainless steel.
FOOD PAIRINGS: As an aperitif with strong blue cheeses or seared foie gras, for dessert with fresh fruit.
