Here are the beautiful new releases by Inniskillin.

Inniskillin

February 13, 2024

One of the prized Canadian wineries, Inniskillin has clearly played a pioneering role in establishing the Canadian wine industry. On July 31, 1975, its founders made history when they were given the first winery license in Canada since Prohibition. Inniskillin came into prominence on the global stage with its win at the 1991 Vinexpo, in Bordeaux, France, when the Vidal Icewine was awarded the highest Grand Prix d'Honneur, changing the way the world sees Canadian wine. Instrumental in developing Canada's VQA system this house is located amongst lush vineyards adjacent to the Niagara River. It is truly one of the unique visiting experiences in the world, with beautiful views of the Niagara Escarpment.

Today Inniskillin makes a wide range of wines including some world-class dessert wines. I was massively impressed with both new release Icewines that I tasted. The 2021 Inniskillin Riesling Icewine (OB, 95) is big and burly with a whopping 380G/L. Learn more at https://www.inniskillin.com/

2021 Inniskillin Riesling Icewine- This beautiful 2021 Icewine has a whopping 380G/L residual sugar. Papaya and roasted pineapple alongside juicy peach and hints of bananas foster on the palate. The tension of the wine as well as weight really drives things forward. Beautiful now, this will live on for another twenty plus years to come. Drink 2024-2040- 95

2022 Inniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine- Rich, heady and very dense, the 2022 Inniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine shows off flavors of cherries jubilee, toffee, butterscotch and hints of red raspberry cordial on the palate. Its full-bodied and decadent stuff that is not for the weary. Drink 2024-2040- 95
