Reif Estate has been crafting this Icewine since 1984, a tradition that shines in this exceptional Niagara offering. Made from frozen Vidal grapes harvested in winter, this wine delivers a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and indulgent richness. Expect a symphony of flavours, including golden honey, delicate herbs, poached pear, caramel, and a whisper of tobacco. Its bouquet is lusciously inviting, with notes of peach preserves and apricot jam. Delightful on its own, it also pairs beautifully with fruit desserts such as flans and cobblers.

Vidal Icewine food pairings: apple crumble, spice cake, crème brûlée, fruit-based desserts, pastries, fresh field berries in cream.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
