Inniskillin's 2021 Vidal Gold Icewine is a Canadian dessert wine made from the cold-hardy Vidal varietal in the Niagara region, where winter conditions allow grapes to freeze naturally on the vine. The result is concentrated in a half-bottle format, ideal for sipping after dinner or with cheese.
The wine shows the rich, honeyed character typical of icewine, with stone fruit and apricot flavors running through a silky, almost syrupy body. There's enough acidity underneath to keep it from feeling cloying, and a clean, bright finish that lingers. This is a wine built for small pours and slow appreciation, best enjoyed well-chilled.
