This dessert wine is made in a way that attempts to mimic the production of ice-wine within The Netherlands by cryoextraction (cooling the grapes to below freezing before pressing them). The nose of this wine is very modest but the flavors are more pronounced. We taste citrus fruit, lemon zest, pear, yellow apple and pineapple. It is a sweet wine, but a bit too light to be considered a ‘typical’ dessert wine. It has a lot of sweetness but misses some depth that would have made this wine more interesting. This could partially be ascribed to the low level of alcohol.
