Après Cabernet Franc Icewine
Après Cabernet Franc Icewine
Ice wine is a delicacy. The grapes are only harvested after temperatures drop below freezing, allowing for greater concentrations of sugar and flavour in the juice. The result is a strong, sweet, smooth, and full-flavoured wine that is intended for sipping after a big dinner as a digestif.
Cabernet Franc is an exceptional grape for making red ice wines. Perhaps the best ones are made right here in Canada. The complex red berry notes in regular Cab Franc are even more prominent in this delectable ice wine.
Après Cabernet Franc Ice Wine is sweet, rich, and heavy. It entices you with the irresistible notes of ripe currants, spice, honey, strawberry, rhubarb, and cranberry. Serve chilled but not cold (10-12°C).
