Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Decadent and special! Beautiful amber, golden hue, with rich aromas of baked peaches, pears, and golden apples. Luscious and full bodied, with smooth and warm baked fruit flavours linger on the palate. I would enjoy this on its own at the end of a nice dinner, but you could pair with a fruit tart as well.
From Niagara-On-The-Lake wine region, Château des Charmes Vidal Icewine is the perfect holiday hostess gift. On the palate the Icewine is apricot, peach nectar, lusciously sweet but beautifully balanced with a zesty acidity. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
