Reviews and Ratings

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

This is a beautiful late harvest Vidal wine with a bit of Riesling thrown in. A bit lighter in texture than a VQA-approved icewine, late harvest wines are still packed with lovely fruit and honey flavours, and balancing acidity. This wine has aromas of creamy lemon, orange marmalade, white florals and honey. These flavours all come through on the palate and are well integrated together with that soft texture and bright acidity. Enjoy with spicy Thai dishes or to accompany a fruit tart with dessert.

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.
