The wine region of Ontario
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.
