Excellent Outlook for Ice Wine in Ontario
Excellent Outlook for Ice Wine in Ontario
Feb 6, 2013 6
(Wines&Vines) - Everyone in Ontario agrees that the grape harvest in 2012 was outstanding, some are even calling it the best in Ontario’s grapegrowing history. The same prediction is being made for the ice wine harvest. Grapes for making ice wine must be picked when the temperature is below -8ºC (17.6ºF), and it is very unusual for the harvest to be delayed beyond Jan. 1. Since the first grapes were not harvested until Jan. 2, and the vintage date is the date when the grapes are picked, the ice wine now being produced will be labeled from vintage of 2013
