Our 2023 Iced wine shows tempting aromas of apricot, zesty mandarin, pineapple and biscotti. These concentrated aromas, a product of the grapes being pressed while frozen, continue and linger on the palate, supported by vibrant acidity that keeps the wine in balance with the high residual sugar for a truly decadent experience. Try with steamed lobster with drawn butter or enjoy with lemon curd or angel-food cake.
