It shows lavish peachy and apricot flavours, with a sweet mouthfeel but a dry twist at the end. Very addictive Gordon Stimmel, Toronto Star December 20, 2006 3 stars out of 5 Vines magazine, January/February 2007

"Its deftly made fizz offering excellent value and with a small amount of ice wine made from grapes which have frozen to the vine dosed in to enrich and boost flavour. Amazing and well worth tracking down. Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday, November 2010
Food Matching Note: Enjoy before a meal with salty appetizers, seafood or creamy risotto or with fresh fruit and creamy cheeses.
Tasting Note: Very fine bubbles spiral upwards, through this brilliant yellow straw coloured wine. The bouquet of apricot, yeast and ripe apple, with hints of honey, are followed by tropical fruits on the palate and a refreshing sweet grapefruit finish.
Vinification Note: Using the methode classique, individual batches of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are fermented in tank. A cuvee is made using a selection of these wines which are then bottled with yeast and sugar. After ageing on the lees for approximately 30 months, the bottles are riddled, degorged and a dosage of Icewine (110ml) is added
