Canadian ice wine is an epitome in the luxury market and among wine drinkers all over. The avid wine drinkers consider the ice wine from Canada as an unmatched creation.
Ice wine, which originated in Germany in 1794, is consumed in very small sips or is most popularly poured over ice-creams as syrup. This wine variety is produced by natural freezing, which causes the concentration of sugar and grape flavors, thus giving it that exquisite, world-class taste.
The natural thawing procedure this requires, makes ice wine the most difficult variety to create by wine makers. The refined process involved has made
Canada Icewine as the most costly drinks to be created in Canada. The
Niagara Ontario Region of Canada is described as the most respected producer of ice wine and in fact the house of this great wine taste.
The exact harvesting time is as imperative requisite for creating that perfect flavor of ice wine. The ideal temperatures thus lie between -10 to-13C, which appears indispensable. This step leads to that optimum flavor, which remains stored in the grapes and in sugar concentrates.
The Canadian ice wines are available in a number of variations, which are created depending upon the growing area and different thawing temperatures. Some of them include:
Canadian Red Ice Wine
Canadian Estates ice wine
