2002 Ice Wine
Price: $65 - RETAIL ONLY
2002 was the first time in 30 years of grape production at Henry Estate that the making of “Ice Wine” was possible. Late October temperatures dipped to 17º F just prior to day break. This resulted in the clusters of white riesling berries being frozen solid like little ice cubes. Quickly pressing the frozen berries resulted in extraction of only the most viscous and flavorful components. This produced a wine nectar that has flavors of apricots, peaches and honey, mingled with hints of mandarin orange. The residual sweetness is balanced by natural acid that was present in the grapes resulting in an invigorating, tangy finish. This wine can be consumed by itself or as a perfect companion to any fruit dessert.
