Vqa Ice Cabernet Franc

The grapes for this Cabernet Franc Icewine were harvested from select vineyards throughout the Niagara Peninsula at a frigid temperature of -10C. Pressed immediately the viscous juice was cold settled for 7 days before racking and inoculating. Fermented cool for approximately 21 days the resulting wine was filtered and transferred to a stainless steel tank to await bottling. This red Icewine has traditionally been paired with dark chocolate and chocolate based desserts. Combine the chocolate with red fruit-based fruit and you have a great wine and culinary match.
