  • Winter Magic: the Glory of True Ice Wines
    Winter Magic: The glory of true ice wines By Dave Sit | Jan 20, 2019 | Ithaca.com Rows of frozen Vidal grapes. Photo by Matt Kelly It’s early morning deep into December in the Finger Lakes. You are driving along one of the deserted wine routes in the region. The temperature is in the lower teens. The vineyards along the road look barren and desolate in the snowy landscape. Yet in the distance, you spy a few workers moving quickly along a row of vines, their breaths appearing as puffs of smoke. They couldn’t possibly be picking grapes. Those grapes must be frozen solid in this cold! Well, you are witnessing the beginning of the making of a truly magical wine: ice wine. Eiswein (ice wine in German) has been produced in Germany for centuries. Folklore pegged its origin to the 1790s in the Franconia region, when an early and harsh winter left the vintners with no choice but to make wine from the frozen grapes. Thus, Eiswein was born. Ice wine didn’t make its debut in the New World until 1972, when Walter Hainle, a German immigrant, made an ice wine by happenstance at his winery in British Columbia, the result of an unexpected early frost. In the early 1980s, Inniskillin Winery in Niagara-on-the Lake began purposefully leaving Vidal grapes on the vines to freeze. Soon after, those ice wines began winning international awards, and Canada—especially the Niagara area—became renowned for its ice wines. In America, the first ice wine was made in 1981 by Great Western, the pioneering sparkling wine producer located in Hammondsport in the Finger Lakes.
