2002 Sparkling Vidal Ice Wine, Inniskillin

Niagara Peninsula, Canada

Frozen Gold 

A rare Canadian treasure, this sparkling Vidal Icewine brings together the drama of deep winter with the lift of delicate bubbles. Golden, luscious and beautifully expressive, it opens with apricot, nectarine, lychee and peach, followed by honey, ginger, candied citrus and a soft tropical glow. The sweetness is generous, but the fine fizz and bright acidity keep everything poised, refreshing and quietly spectacular.

For when
You want a dessert wine that feels celebratory, surprising and completely memorable.

Pairs with
Foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, poached peaches, apricot desserts, crème brûlée, panna cotta or simply a chilled glass at the end of a special meal.

If this wine were…
A firework caught inside a snow globe, golden, glittering and wonderfully unexpected.

Inniskillin is one of the great names of Canadian wine, the Niagara pioneer that helped put Icewine on the world stage. Founded by Donald Ziraldo and Karl Kaiser, the estate became a symbol of Canadian ambition, patience and cold-climate brilliance. Its Icewines remain among the country’s most iconic bottles, admired for their intensity, rarity and unmistakable sense of frozen Niagara magic.

The harvest of Icewine grapes cannot begin until temperatures drop below -8°C for a sustained period. Inniskillin is meticulous; they do not pick at temperatures warmer than -10°C, which reduces yields and increases quality. The frozen clusters are often harvested in the cool of night. The precious grapes are pressed immediately while their water content is frozen in crystals. Only a few drops of concentrated, intensely sweet juice are obtained. This juice is then fermented very slowly over several months to become Icewine. Inniskillin consistently sets the bar higher than its competitors. While the VQA (Vintners’ Quality Alliance) sets the minimum Brix level (used to measure sugar levels) at harvest at 35 degrees, Inniskillin generally harvests between 40 and 42 degrees. Instead of the minimum residual sugar level of 18%, Inniskillin’s wines have between 22 – 28%. As a result, their Icewines are significantly richer and more intense, justifying their higher price.
