2023 Carretto Vidal Icewine 200ml

2023 was a challenging vintage with rain throughout the harvest season. Although challenging it was not without its highlights. One key benefit of the harvest was the higher acidity in the fruit. This enabled our winemakers us to produce crisp aromatic whites and rose with soft fruit characters.

A luscious example of an excellent balanced Icewine; aromas of fresh peach, apricot and lychee compliment a dominant wildflower honey aroma. The palate mirrors the nose, with balanced acid, integrated texture and an extended back-palate, with subtleties of pineapple juice and orange peel.

This wine is perfect as an aperitif or digestif. It also can be enjoyed with strong cheeses (aged cheddar, deep-veined blue cheese, etc.) or desserts less sweet than the Icewine (focus on citrus flavours).
