Liquid gorgeous! What a spectacular dessert wine. Aromas of honey, peaches, baking spice and tree fruit. Perfect for fruit-based desserts or pumpkin pie. Yum!

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Brilliant deep amber-gold. Thick and rich with slow moving legs revealing it's almost oily texture. Oxidized apple, pear, peach, honey, floral, vanilla and brown sugar. The length is long with lingering sweet honeyed finish. The acidity is medium+ and balanced well against the sweetness.
Dessert on it's own or with Creme Brule, Stilton cheese, caramel sundae.
Outstanding value icewine at $24.95 makes this a perfect host/hostess gift.
Tasted: November 8, 2014

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A pioneer in the ice wine industry, Reif has been producing world-class ice wine for 30 years and the quality of their ice wine speaks volumes to that experience. The 2013 Vidal Ice Wine is a deep golden copper, the nose is rich and inviting with stewed plums, botrytis notes, buckwheat honey, baking spice, and sweet raisins. A repeat on the palate. Heavy, creamy, and rich, this 2013 Vidal Ice Wine will put a smile on your face. I paired with fresh Italian Cannoli and it was divine! Tasted November 2014. 91 points. Matt Steeves - @QuercusVino
