WINE DESCRIPTION

Cave Spring Riesling Icewine is a premium dessert wine produced by Cave Spring Cellars, a renowned winery located in the Niagara Peninsula wine region of Ontario, Canada. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the winery's vineyards, which benefit from the region's unique microclimate and soil composition. The grapes are harvested at the peak of their ripeness, frozen on the vine, and then handpicked in the dead of winter to produce a concentrated and luscious wine. The winemaking process involves slow fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's delicate aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is a rich and complex dessert wine with notes of honey, apricot, and citrus, balanced by a refreshing acidity. Cave Spring Riesling Icewine is a perfect choice for special occasions or as a gift for wine lovers.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Wine Enthusiast gave this wine 96/100, and writes the following: "Sip this brilliant ice wine to know how Winnie the Pooh feels when he discovers a new pot of honey.Imagine raw honeycomb, apricots, ginger marmalade, Meyer lemons and crisp yellow apples rolled into a pleasing ball. This ice wine's puckering acidity makes this something special."
