Wine Details
Price:
$50.00 per bottle
Description:
A remarkably aromatic Riesling Icewine that follows the pedigree of the great Riesling Icewines that have preceded it. Elevated aromatics of intense peach pie and apricot jam leap from the glass closely followed by lovely tropical fruit aromatics of mango, papaya, orange marmalade and melons. The palate is dense with texture, flavour and intensity. Searing acidity compliments to rich, viscous mouth feel that is accompanied by ripe tropical fruits, fruit preserves and a touch of nuttiness that is reminiscent of marzipan and pistachios. The finish is nothing short of heavenly as it is long, evolving and rich. Enjoy with desserts of exotic tropical fruit salads, sabayon, biscotti, vanilla ice cream and traditional pies.
