2022 Chenin Blanc Ice Wine Estate Bottled | Red Mountain
Vineyard: 100% Kiona Estate
Composition: 100% Chenin Blanc
Residual Sugar: 152.4 g/L
While Red Mountain is known for big, powerful red wine, it’s also an exceedingly good place to grow white varieties. The Kiona Estate vineyard has 4 acres of Chenin Blanc planted in a depression, ensuring a consistent freeze year-in, year-out. We don’t pick Ice Wine until the grapes are naturally frozen in the vineyard, typically picking in the early morning hours before the sun rises.
Ice Wine is one of the world’s most elusive and delicious elixirs. We prefer to use Chenin Blanc, a varietal that allows for robust acidity and intense green and tropical fruit flavors. Our philosophy with this wine is to emphasize acidity over outright sweetness, a tactic that ensures we produce a balanced, crisp wine that dances on the tongue.
