  • How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine
    How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine that originated in Germany. This "late harvest" wine is traditionally pressed from grapes that are harvested after they freeze on the vine. "Eiswein" literally means "ice wine," and is called so on some labels. If you want to buy eiswein, know the country and the method that produced the bottle to find the best available "ice wine" for your budget. Does this Spark an idea? Instructions 1. o 1 Locate a local wine store or look on line for wine sellers who carry eiswein. o 2 Look for a bottle that fits your price range. German and Austrian Eisweins, which follow established methods of harvest and production, are the European gold standard. However, many less expensive, but still excellent, ice wines come from Austria, New Zealand, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. Not all producers let grapes freeze naturally before harvesting them at night. This time-honored and labor-intensive method of production, as well as the loss of all but a few drops of juice, explains the higher price of traditionally produced ice wine. Some vintners pick the grapes and then artificially freeze them before pressing. Manage Cellar, Share Tasting Notes Free, powerful, and easy to use! o 3 Pick a colorful and fragrant bouquet. Eiswein is distinguished by the contrast between its fragrant sweetness and acidity. A great eiswein is both rich and fresh. Young eisweins have tropical fruit, peach or berry overtones. Older eisweins suggest caramel or honey. Colors can range from white to rose.

  • Inniskillin.Com
    inniskillin.com DISCOVERY SERIES P3 VQA NIAGARA PENINSULA 2012 HARVEST The 2012 Harvest was spectacular. The hot, dry summer conditions delivered one of the best quality harvests for Ontario in years across all varietals. The summer conditions were reflected in what was our earliest start on record, with grapes being processed for the first time in August, and in turn, having all varieties in house before November. The ideal weather conditions delivered fully ripening fruit. The aromatic whites, Riesling and Pinot Grigio, are more varietal specific while the fruit definition for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are simply stunning. The depth of colour and intensity of flavors are strong on the late ripening Merlot, Cabernets and Shiraz, which flourished in the hot, dry conditions. WINEMAKING These 3 Pinot varieties were picked from select vineyards throughout the Niagara Peninsula. The Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc were fermented separately in stainless steel while the Pinot Grigio was fermented and aged in French Oak for three months for added complexity. To make the final blend the wines were then put together at a ratio of 49% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Grigio and 16% Pinot Blanc. WINEMAKER’S NOTES This unique blend provides citrus notes of lemon and lime, along with floral notes and a touch of vanilla. The palate shows flavours of green apple and peach balanced by a crisp, refreshing acidity. FOOD PAIRINGS Great sipping and reception wine! Delicate summer salads such as baby spinach and strawberries; watermelon and cucumber with feta; fresh angel hair pasta with olive oil or crispy vegetable spring rolls.

Please let us know if you have a personal favorite not listed. You may find it here on your next visit. The Ultimate Wine Country Experience! WASHINGTON AVA REGIONS What is so unique about Washington wine country? First, there two distinct sides to Washington State; Eastern Washington, where most of the vinifera (wine) grapes are grown and which has desert like conditions and sparse population; and Western Washington where the temperate conditions are more conducive to growing cooler climate vinifera and non-vinifera grapes, but where most of the state’s population resides. The individual soils of Washington State vineyards vary, but overall it is said that Washington has sandy, silty, loam soils as a result of ancient cataclysmic flooding, volcanic and glacial action. These soils drain well and are conducive to deep root growth - important for vines to make it through cyclical freeze events in Eastern Washington.

  • Late Autumn Riesling
    inniskillin.com NIAGARA ESTATE COLLECTION Late Autumn Riesling VQA NIAGARA PENINSULA 2011 HARVEST The 2011 vintage had a cool, rainy start offering good soil moisture. Record July heat levels brought the growing season back on line. The challenges of a rainy harvest season were managed by strategic picking and vineyard management with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Riesling and Pinot Grigio (Gris) showed good aromatics. Mild dry temperatures and abundant sunshine in November allowed for the later ripening reds, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, to achieve their maximum potential. WINEMAKING After picking from select vineyards in the Niagara region, the grapes were crushed and pressed immediately upon arrival to the winery. The juice was allowed to cold settle for 48 hours before being racked and inoculated. Fermentation took place at an average temperature of 14 C for 13 days in stainless steel tanks. WINEMAKER’S NOTES The touch of sweetness in this Riesling really helps to bring out the aromas and texture in this wine. Floral notes, along with citrus and peach are abundant on the nose. On the palate, green apple and citrus notes of lemon and lime and a crisp lively acidity balance the residual sugar for a clean lingering finish. FOOD PAIRINGS Caesar salad with smoked bacon, parmesan and anchovies; roasted chicken or turkey with hearty vegetables/kale, squash; thyme roasted apples with pork belly; wonderful with apple cinammon crumble.

The cool spring led into sunny and warm days, cool, clear nights, minimal precipitation and no humidity. Harvest began in mid-September with Pinot Grigio and finished in the first week of November. This allowed for strong varietal characteristics with Pinot Noir and the early white varieties of Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc showing great aromatics from the ripe fruit. The late ripening reds of Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon benefitted from longer hang time where they were able to reach their maximum potential. WINEMAKING The grapes for this blend were harvested from select vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula. All 3 varieties were fermented separately in stainless steel at a cool average temperature of 15°C. The final blend was then put together with 62% Pinot Gris 23% Pinot Noir and 15 % Pinot Blanc.
