World reference for Canadian Icewine: exceptional sweet wines from grapes frozen on the vine, golden colour, signature notes of candied apricot, mango, honey, citrus and exotic fruits, opulent sugar balanced by taut acidity (Vidal for fruit, Riesling for finesse). Cool-climate still wines: mineral, lively Riesling, precise Chardonnay, fine Pinot Noir (cherry, undergrowth), peppery Cabernet Franc. ~5,500 ha on the Niagara Peninsula between Lake Ontario and the escarpment, VQA.
The word of the wine: Pinot meunier
Cultivated in the 19th century in all the northern vineyards, this black grape variety has largely regressed since. Very present in the Marne valley, it constitutes a third of the vineyards in Champagne, alongside pinot noir and chardonnay with which it is often blended. It brings roundness and red and yellow fruit aromas to champagnes. Pinot meunier is also the dominant grape variety in red and rosé wines in the Orleans AOC and the rare Touraine-Noble-Joué, a grey wine. Syn.: meunier.
