For more than 50 years, Peller Estates has been an award-winning winery located in Niagara that specializes in ice wines as well as cabernet sauvignon and rosé.
Most people outside of Canada may not know much about ice wines. Ice wine is a dessert wine, so it is sold in smaller bottles because you only need to enjoy it as an aperitif (after-dinner drink).
Canadian winemakers discovered that when their grapes freeze in the fall during the first frost, they create a sugary-sweet wine that is simply delicious. These delicate grapes can only be harvested on a specific night each year, resulting in exceptional care for each batch.
Malivoire Wine Company
