Brilliant stuff that shows not all hybrids deserve to be scoffed at. Flamboyant aromas of dried pineapple combine with fresh apricots and honey in this rich, unctuous wine that’s incredibly sweet yet not cloying, thanks to vibrant acidity. Imported by Vincor USA.

There’s a classic, elegant nose of apricot, apple and spice on this rich, golden dessert wine, and the flavors of mango, fig and honey have a touch of raciness and spice that balances the components beautifully. A lingering finish and overall exquisite play of flavors ensures that Inniskillin is still one os the best producers of ice wine in the world.

One of the more expensive Niagara icewines, Konzelman lives up to its price tag with this stylish blend of marzipan and almond notes on the nose and an intense palate laced with macaroon and honey flavors. The long finish shows a nice acidic lift.

There’s incredible depth of both flavor and texture in this golden icewine from Inniskillin. Initially, it’s rich and creamy on the tongue with notes of honey, waxy florals and apple. Then, bright flashes of acidity bring forth tones of tangerine and Meyer lemon. Long and languorous on the finish, it’s a gorgeous wine all around.

Just a whiff of this deep gold Vidal Blanc reveals layers of smoke melded with honey and fresh apples. The palate is deeply complex with flavors that include pretty florals, rich pineapple, citrus and a compelling smoked nut skin note. The super-long finish is marked by zippy acidity and a lovely astringency.

If you like your wines over-the-top sweet, this one’s for you. Sticky and sweet, with powerful flavors of orange marmalade. Impressive, but lacking the precise, focused nature of the very best. Imported by Vincor USA.

Perfumey aromas of corn, melon and ginger set the stage for one of the more unique wines on the market. It’s a true dessert-level ice wine, but one with a creamy mouthfeel, thanks to the multitude of tiny bubbles that seem to aid in balancing the sweetness. Strange at first, but tasty.

This Vidal icewine is packed with aromas of lemon, grapefruit and flowers, and offers a racy but luscious intermingling of lemon and apricot. The flavors are heady but never heavy—the wine has a delicate touch and an elegant, integrated character that would please almost any wine drinker.
