ICEWINE

LAKEVIEW SPARKLING BRUT 2020 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, traditional method

MALIVOIRE GEWÜRZTRAMINER ICEWINE 2019 6 VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment, Ontario

Classic apple and pear on the nose with hints of stem ginger and redcurrants. Well balanced with gentle mousse. Score: 94 (International Wine Challenge, 2025) Medium-bodied & Flavourful 46774 (D) 750 ml $34.95 2 Featured in Big Scores

This mature icewine has evolved into a deep golden/bronze. It has generous, lavish nose of peach-papaya fruit, honey, candied ginger, spice and spearmint. Almost a maple syrup undertow as well. It is very full bodied/unctuous, very sweet, thick yet poised, satiny and sophisticated. There is some not unusual for icewine acetone, but not a detractor for me. This is a really magnificent wine. Tasted May 2025. Score: 96 (David Lawrason, winealign.com) Lusciously Sweet 542530 (S) 200 ml $39.95 1 CHAMPAGNE YANNICK PREVOTEAU LA PERLE DES TREILLES BRUT CHAMPAGNE AOC, France 60% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay.
