Background Information:

Naturally frozen on the vine, grapes destined for Icewine production are painstakingly hand harvested at temperatures of -8 C or colder. As the frozen grapes are pressed, only a few precious drops of concentrated juice are obtained.

At Mission Hill Family Estate, Icewine isn't made every year - they wait for Mother Nature's blessing. Under the watchful eye of winemaker John Simes, the grapes are harvested and turned into a delicately balanced aromatic wine. Technically challenging , time consuming and very risky, Icewine is truly an art and is considered to be a delicacy world-wide.
