- VINTAGE DESCRIPTION:
The Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in Western Canada is home to an
ideal Icewine vineyard, known as Ex Nihilo. This vineyard, due to the
effects of its microclimate, slope and soils, is considered one of the
best sites in the world to produce premium Icewine. The Rolling Stones
Icewine is crafted in limited quantity from grapes grown exclusively
from this site. Strict vineyard practices are followed throughout the
year at Ex Nihilo vineyard to ensure grapes of only the highest quality
are used in the production of the Rolling Stones Icewine.
- WINEMAKING:
The Rolling Stones Icewine is one of the rarest wines in the world. Our Pinot Noir
grapes are left to hang on the vine well into to the winter months. When the temperature
reaches -8°C the frozen grapes are handpicked and pressed in the extreme cold. This
remarkable process intensifies the sugar, acid and flavors in the grapes, resulting
in a wine unlike any other.
- TASTING NOTES:
Fresh berry with intense raisin. This wine will also gain complexity with additional
cellaring, estimated at 8 - 10 years
- WINEMAKERS:
Dr. Allan Marks, Graham Pierce, Rob Thielicke
