This wine is produced by Peller Estates in the Niagara Peninsula, a region internationally recognised for its Icewine production. Peller Estates has established itself as a leading name in this category, combining consistent vineyard practices with precise harvest timing. Vidal is one of the most widely used grapes for Icewine in Canada due to its thick skins and ability to withstand freezing conditions, while still delivering high sugar levels and balanced acidity.
The grapes are left on the vine well into winter and harvested once temperatures drop below minus 8 degrees Celsius, ensuring they are naturally frozen. Pressing takes place immediately while frozen, yielding a small amount of highly concentrated juice. Fermentation is slow and carefully controlled to retain freshness and clarity. Positioned as a premium dessert wine, this style highlights both the reliability of Vidal for Icewine and the technical precision required to achieve balance and purity.
