A great example of an intense and pure, yet delicate style of icewine. The nose is pronounced and interesting, with pear, apple, citrus, nut, wax and petrol notes. The sweet palate is balanced by high acidity, giving a light freshness and pear and pastry notes that stay through the long finish. This wine won a gold medal at the Wine Access 2011 Canadian Wine Awards.
