Round, supple whites with a soft palate, showing discreet aromas of apple, pear, fresh almond, white flowers and brioche notes. Moderate acidity, light finish. Star of Crémant d'Alsace (fine, taut sparkling) and base of Edelzwicker. Grown in Germany (Weissburgunder, Baden-Württemberg), northern Italy (Pinot Bianco, Alto Adige), Austria and Luxembourg. A white mutation of Pinot Noir.
World reference for Icewine: concentrated sweet wines from grapes frozen on the vine, golden colour, signature notes of candied apricot, mango, honey, citrus and exotic fruit, high sugar balanced by lively acidity. 90% of Canadian Icewine (Vidal for fruit, Riesling for finesse). Cool-climate still wines: mineral Riesling, precise Chardonnay, fine Pinot Noir, peppery Cabernet Franc. Southern shores of Lake Ontario.
