I do not believe I have ever seen the word Dornfelder on a bottle of icewine. That's because Dornfelder isn't your typical icewine grape variety - heck it's not even your typical red grape variety. Dornfelder is a grape of German origin, a cross created in 1955, and is the second most planted red in Germany, behind Pinot Noir. Whatever it is it really adds something to this sweetie. Deep rich and red in colour with inviting cherry and raspberry aromas. The flavour profile is just as inviting conjuring up cherry, red plum and some lovely balancing acidity, all leading to a long sumptuous finish. Price: $65.00 / 200ml - Rating: **** 1/2
