Sourced from the Niagara Peninsula, the Vidal grapes thrive in the cold climate essential for true icewine production.

Winemaking and Style

Vidal Blanc, a hybrid grape known for its thick skin and exceptional cold resistance, is hand-harvested at temperatures around -10°C when naturally frozen on the vine. The concentrated juice is fermented under pressure at controlled temperatures to create a lively, sparkling wine that perfectly balances tropical fruit sweetness and crisp acidity. This sparkling icewine highlights vibrant effervescence alongside rich aromas and flavors.
