Icewine Africa Distributors

Icewine is a type of sweet wine produced from grapes that have been naturally frozen while still on the vine in the Canadian Niagara Peninsula. In exceptionally rare circumstances, where you have warm summers (to allow healthy grapes to fully ripen) and very cold winters, where the temperature consistently drops to at least -8 degrees Celsius, you can make a very rare and exquisite wine – called Icewine. This is quite rare and in fact, there are only three countries that can make Icewine on a regular basis – Germany, Austria, and of course, Canada. It is important to note that grapes are mostly water and when that water freezes solid, you are left with a very intense and concentrated nectar. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing for a more concentrated grape juice to develop. The Icewine grapes’ must is pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, luscious luxury sweet wine with intense flavours – but maintaining a great balance of acidity. This is the magic of Icewine…a great natural sweetness, but not cloying, making it an exceptional complement to foods.
