Descripción

As the world’s largest estate producer of ice wine, Pillitteri Estates Winery is committed to producing the best ice wine the world has to offer. We take great pride in producing our ice wine within strict VQA standards, which ensures that our ice wine is of the highest quality available. Our commitment to the best has lead Pillitteri to earn some of the most prestigious wine awards in the industry, including a Gold ‘first overall’ in France’s Effervescents Du Monde for our 2008 Sparkling Cabernet Icewine. We at Pillitteri are also committed to innovation. Being located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Pillitteri is in the perfect climate for ice wine production and has used that to experiment with several grape varietals that had not previously been used in ice wine production. The results have been outstanding, and Pillitteri can boast being one of the few wineries in the world to successfully produce Riesling Icewine, Cabernet Franc Icewine, Shiraz Icewine and Chardonnay Icewine.

We encourage you to come by the winery for a wine tour to gain an appreciation of the extreme conditions that are a major part in the process of making ice wine. Harvest of the ice wine grapes occurs when temperatures have reached -8*C or colder. The grapes have evolved to a beautiful golden colour, and must be hand picked and pressed while naturally frozen to yield a juice with an intense concentration of sugars, acids, flavours and aromas. The yield, however, is far lower than that of most wines, requiring ten times more grapes per bottle. The resulting wine is high in natural sugar, low in alcohol, has an amazing acidity level, and is intensely sweet and flavourful.

At Pillitteri, wine tastings allow our guests to try some of the best wines Niagara has to offer. When trying ice wine, guests can expect to be awed with a unique tasting experience. With flavours that can range from honeyed peach and apricot to more tropical fruit like mangos, to black forest cake and spice, this exceptional wine is meant to be savoured. If you are coming to Niagara wine country, Pillitteri is the best place to learn about and try ice wine. If you can’t make it here, our online wine store offers an excellent selection of Pillitteri Icewine.
