Shiraz Icewine 200

Shiraz Icewine (200 ml) Wine Details
Price: $50.00 per bottle

Description: A world's first – Shiraz Icewine – almost an oxymoron considering the intense heat required to produce outstanding Shiraz coupled with the deadly cold required for Icewine bring to light one of the many reasons why Canadian Icewine is so special. Similar to a red table wine, this Icewine evolves in the glass to a multi-dimensional sensation. Everyone's favourite aromas such as roses, black forest cake, mulled spices, candied apples and honeysuckle fill the nose with a palate of roasted marshmallows, berries, wild strawberries and mint. Rich and sweet with elegant, balanced acidity and an extensively long finish that is heavenly. Enjoy with many desserts including those with chocolate and berries. Amazing with blue cheeses.

Varietal Definition
Shiraz:
Alternate name for the french Syrah clone grape grown in Australia and responsible for very big red wines that are not quite as intense in flavor as the french Rhone versions.
