Icewine, Late Harvest and
Dessert Wine:
Just too many to list, but some of my favourites
wineries that are making wonderful Icewine and other
dessert wines include, Gehringer Brothers,
Hainle,
Inniskillin,
Jackson-Triggs, Lang, Mission Hill,
Mt. Boucherie,
Paradise Ranch, Quails’
Gate, Sumac, Summerhill, and Willow Hill.
Outside of the traditional Icewine and Late Harvest
wines, my three must-try suggestions are:
-
Red Icewine
by Gehringer Brothers (Cab Franc), Lang (Merlot), Paradise Ranch (Merlot), and Summerhill (Pinot Noir),
-
Botrytis Affected
dessert
wine by Quails’ Gate (Optima) and
Domaine de Chaberton (Ortega BA); and
-
Port-style wine by Sumac (Pipe) and Quails'
Gate (Fortified Foch).
Be sure to also try them with
some Belgium chocolate dessert wine cups (available
at our shop).
