Wine Maker’s Notes:
Summerhill Pyramid Winery's "Peace" Pinot Noir Icewine was produced from 100% certified organic grapes from Summerhill's certified vineyard. Grapes were harvested on January 2, 2004 at -11 degrees Celsius and pressed while frozen. Harvest brix was 43 degrees and the finished wine has a residual sweetness of 28% (280g/l).
Layers of rich honeyed aromas and flavours are followed by a bright, lingering finish.
A Summerhill classic, made from certified organic grapes, this rare style of red icewine makes an ideal digestif, with rich aromas of strawberry confit, honey, rhubarb crisp and dried apricots, with very subtle hints of smokey slate - a product of Summerhill's terroir. On the palate, the thick, rich texture supports flavours of dried berries, white pepper and candied apple with a lusciously sweet, lingering finish.
Grapes were harvested on January 2nd of 2004 at minus 11 degrees Celcius and pressed while frozen.
Fermented for 13 days
