Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

Gorgeous Niagara icewine. Full-bodied, deeply concentrated, rich. Bursting with ripe nectarine, ripe peach, apricot jam, clover honey. Pair with Thai coconut infused mango sticky rice, Greek baclava, or asian-fusion. Tasted the 2017 vintage in November 2018. 94 points.

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This icewine had ALL of the tropical fruits - guava, passionfruit, pineapple, and a touch of baking spice(nutmeg). Pair with plain lemon meringue pie or cheesecake

Wineboy rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Canada makes the best icewine in the world. Apricot and peach. This example has all the freshness needed to keep you wanting more and more. One of the best Vidal icewines I've tried in a couple of years.

Pam Hatton rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Golden hue hints at the honey and peach nose and palate. Rich caramel, medium acidity and long finish

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A beautiful, classic example of this Canadian treat. Rich and luscious, with aromas of ripe peach, nectarine, and honey with a touch of warm cinnamon and nutmeg spice. Full bodied on the palate with lots of ripe fruit and honey flavours. Enjoy after dinner with a fruit tart or other sweet pastry.

From Niagara River, Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region, Reif Estate Vidal Icewine is full-bodied and lush with ripe peach, apricot and baking spice flavours rich and viscous on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
