This honeyed ice wine from Diamond Estates is made from 100% Vidal grapes left to freeze on the vine, concentrating the sugars and acids. Pressed whilst still frozen, the juice is seriously concentrated. Lychee, mango, pineapple and honey, marmalade and candied pears; perfect with blue cheese or crème brûlée.

Growing season and harvest

The Vidal grapes used for this wine were left to ripen on the vine well into the winter months, allowing them to freeze naturally and concentrate their sugars and flavours. Harvest takes place in the early hours of the morning when temperatures drop below freezing, ensuring that the grapes are harvested at the optimal temperature to preserve their natural sweetness and acidity. Each grape is carefully pressed while still frozen, extracting only a small amount of concentrated juice with intense flavours and aromas.

Tasting
NOTES

On the nose this wine shows overt tropical fruit; lychee, ripe mango, pineapple and honey. Full of sweet riches in the mouth; golden honey, ripe apples and candied pears, essence of orange oil and marmalade. There’s a lovely velvety, smooth texture, pleasing acidity and a long finish with beautiful freshness. A softer style of dessert wine.

Food
PAIRINGS

A perfect dessert wine for crème brûlée but equally beautiful with pineapple crumble with a granola and rosemary topping.
