2007 Riesling Icewine

Greeting the palate is a blast of pure apricot fruit supported by flavours of lemon-lime, green apple, guava and praline. The vibrant, tightly wound structure keeps this elegant wine focussed and long.

This Riesling Icewine has a fragrance of honey and citrus fruit. Sweetness is balanced by mouth-watering acidity to create a lasting impression of elegance and finesse.

Spring and early summer were normal with the weather during bloom very good, and so an excellent fruit set occurred. Despite the onset of La Nina in the autumn, significant work on canopy management including leaf thinning, cluster pruning, careful fruit exposure, and irrigation management allowed us to proceed into the fall with berry growth and ripeness as expected and the fruit in excellent condition. Chief Winemaker Andrew Kamphius comments, "early tastings of the whites are highly aromatic and lively, with a natural balance of fruitiness and the young reds indicate a pleasing suppleness of tannins and excellent colour. Overall, the colour, flavours, tannins and acidity all matured together beautifully and initial tasting reveals well-balanced wines."
