Ice wine Uncorked:Canada's frozen gem

摘要

Eiswein made its way to Canada in the hands of Germanic immigrants as recently as the early 1970s and, upon realising the local climates suitability - warm summers to ripen the grapes and cold winters to freeze the grapes - Icewine had found a new home.In 1983, the first experimental Canadian Icewine was made in Ontario, with the first commercially available Icewines being produced in 1984 by the late Karl Kaiser, co-founder of Inniskillin Wine and considered the grandfather of Canadian winemaking.
