Canadian Icewine (カナディアン・アイスワイン・ギャラリー)
 
The juice from Icewine grapes is about one-fifth the amount you would normally get if you pressed unfrozen grapes.
To put it another way, a vine will normally produce sufficient grapes to make a bottle of wine; but frozen grapes would produce only one glass of Icewine

The frozen grapes are pressed in the extreme cold. The water in the juice remains frozen as ice crystals, and only a few drops of sweet concentrated juice is obtained.
This juice is then fermented very slowly for several months, stopping naturally.

The finished icewine is intensely sweet and flavourful in the initial mouth sensation.
The balance is achieved by the acidity, which gives a clean, dry finish. The nose of icewine recalls lychee nuts. The wine tastes of tropical fruits, with shadings of peach nectar and mango.

Canada is the largest ice wine producer in the world with 40 to 50 vintners in Ontario and British Columbia producing the liquid gold.
