Description
Discover the exquisite charm of Inniskillin Niagara Riesling Icewine 2022. This exceptional sweeter white wine from the renowned Canadian producer Inniskillin embodies the essence of the Niagara region, showcasing every aspect of its unique terroir. Presented in a 37.5cl bottle, this Icewine offers an indulgent experience characterized by its lush, honeyed character and vibrant acidity.
With a vintage of 2022, this exquisite Niagara Riesling Icewine is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes. Its remarkable flavor profile includes:
- Aromas: Delicate scents of lemon grass, honeydew melon, and golden apple, intermingled with notes of tropical fruits and blossom.
- Palate: A silky texture with a balanced fusion of tangy citrus and juicy tropical fruit sweetness, enhanced by a lively, electric acidity.
- Finish: A lingering taste of peach and apricot, creating a refreshing and vibrant conclusion.
When serving this very sweet dessert wine, we recommend:
- Chilling to 8–10°C and pouring into small, elegant dessert wine glasses to enhance its rich texture and aromatic complexity.
- Pairing with blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, complemented by walnuts and dried apricots for a delightful balance of sweetness and creaminess.
- Drizzling over poached pear halves topped with crushed pistachios for an elegant presentation and flavor contrast.
- Utilizing it as a splash in sparkling cocktails, garnished with a twist of lemon zest and fresh herbs.
- Accompanying light, spicy fare such as mild Thai coconut curry or honey-sesame glazed chicken to enhance the dish's layered flavors.
- Creating a rich panna cotta infused with the Icewine, served in small glasses with a raspberry coulis for a stunning dessert.
- For special celebrations, toasting with chilled foie gras terrine on toasted brioche, finished with fig jam.
- Enjoying drizzled over vanilla ice cream and sprinkled with toasted almonds for a luxurious sweet treat.
Maintain this remarkable wine optimally by storing it horizontally in a cool, dark place, away from direct light and with a consistent temperature range of 45°F to 55°F (7°C to 13°C). With its delightful balance of sweetness and acidity, the Inniskillin Niagara Riesling Icewine promises a unique and memorable tasting journey for all occasions.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Sweet White (such as Niagara Riesling Icewine) maintain a temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) with around 55°F (13°C) being ideal to preserve delicate aromatic and sugar components. Keep the humidity level between 60% and 70% to prevent corks from drying out or mold growth. Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist which helps maintain a proper seal and prevents oxidation.
Avoid exposure to direct or UV light by placing bottles in a dark vibration-free and quiet environment. Excess heat or sunlight can prematurely age or spoil the wine. For sealing ensure that the cork remains intact; for opened bottles reseal tightly (using the original cork or a wine stopper) and keep refrigerated to prolong freshness consuming within a few days.
If storing long-term unopened select a stable environment free from temperature fluctuations (never above 65°F or below 45°F) with controlled humidity below 70% to avoid mold and label damage. For opened Sweet White refrigeration is necessary and it is best consumed within 3 to 5 days.
In summary:
- Temperature: 45°F–55°F (7°C–13°C) ideally ~55°F (13°C)
- Humidity: 60%–70%
- Light: Keep in dark; avoid UV exposure
- Bottle position: Store on side to keep cork moist
- Sealing: Keep cork intact; reseal tightly after opening
- Opened bottles: Refrigerate and consume within a few days
- Environment: Stable temperature low vibration no heat sources nearby
