Cattail Creek 2006 Barrel Fermented Vidal Icewine

In the overcrowded world of icewine you’ve got to do something to make yourself stand out, especially if you’re a new winery. So Cattail decided to barrel ferment theirs – but not in just any barrel, a French oak mixed stave barrel (a barrel made of oak sourced from various forests in France) … now that is different. After fermentation, the wine was returned to barrel for further aging and to develop other flavours from its wood home (totaling about 3 months). So what, pray-tell, has this exp...

Mountain Road 2003 Special Select Late Harvest Vidal

Many moons ago (back in 2004) Steve Kocsis, winemaker and owner of Mountain Road, made a wine of epic proportion and a pricing error of the same size.

Magnotta 2005 Passito Vidal

Yet again Magnotta finds themselves taking a leading role in new wine styles for Ontario, while borrowing on some old world methods. A few years back, they introduced Enotrium – an Ontario version of Amarone using Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, air-dried on mats, just like Amarone in Italy. Now they try to do the same with Vidal and dessert wines. Hand picked and left to air-dry, these Vidal lie around for 3 weeks before pressing, fermenting and fortification. The resu...

Lailey Vineyard 2006 Vidal Select Late Harvest

There are two ways to make Late Harvest wine: the first is to use the second pressing of icewine grapes, because the second pressing can no longer be called icewine, and the second pressing usually garners more juice because the grapes have thawed out. The second way, and winemaker Derek Barnett’s preferred method – sorry, scratch that, Barnett’s only method, is to actually plan on picking them late in the season, that way you can get the quality of grapes you want. This wine is stunning, wit...
