Winemaking | January 5th, 2015 brought ideal temperatures of -10°C allowing us to begin Inniskillin’s thirtyfirst Icewine harvest. Vineyard Director Gerald Klose and Winemaker Bruce Nicholson, began the harvest under a full moon with Riesling and Vidal grapes at the Pratt Vineyard (Line 4 at Concession 6, Niagara on the Lake, formerly the Woerthle Vineyard). The consistent frigid weather allowed us to maintain the optimum harvesting temperature which in turn, enables us to preserve our high quality standards with the desired sugar levels and acidities in good balance. WINEMAKING The grapes for this Icewine were harvested at an average temperature of -10°C. Pressed immediately the resulting juice was an ideal 37.7 brix for a sparkling Icewine. Inoculated with a very specific strain of yeast, the juice was allowed to ferment under pressure in a charmat tank at an average temperature of 17°C until it reached an alcohol of 9.5%. |
