Description Here's a two for the price of one review: There’s the 8.5% Cranberry Ice ($22.95/375ml) – it’s a 22 on the sugar code, but it maintains all the tart and tang of Cranberry juice, your mouth actually puckers. Don't let the sugar code fooll you on this one, it bites back. I don’t throw the word amazing around too often, but it can definitely be used for the new Iced Peach ($18.95/375ml), higher alcohol (14%) than the cranberry and less sugar content (18). But before you get all hung up on the sugar numbers I will tell you that there is no way you could tell either of these wines were that sweet from the taste – they are to be tried to be believed. The peaches, for this wine, are sourced from Niagara and their aromas simply radiate from the glass. Both wines are sweetened with maple syrup, but there is no maple flavour – just pure peaches (with no sickeningly sweet cocktail sauce) and lots of cranberry. I can’t describe the beauty of these wines to you – they are something you just have to taste to believe, they really must tried, they would be worth the trip up to Haliburton … forget amazing, “awesome” just might be a better descriptor.
