- 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:
Caramel and baked apple, accented with notes of peach and pineapple. The palate further reveals the
wine’s complexity with flavours of mango and dried apricots.This wine will also gain
complexity with additional
cellaring, estimated at 6 - 8 years
- WINEMAKERS:
Dr. Allan Marks, Graham Pierce, Rob Thielicke
