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: Côte des Bar
This is the name given to the vineyards of the Aube, which are closer to Burgundy, and some of the wines produced here bear witness to this proximity. The pinot noir dominates, the meunier is practically absent. Two crus have become references: Riceys, where a rosé without bubbles is also produced, and Montgueux near Troyes, renowned for its Chardonnay.
