Red Rooster Winery Riesling Icewine VQA

Red Rooster seamlessly unites the art of winemaking with the sheer joy of exploration, all while sprinkling a touch of spontaneity and whimsical delight. Here, we’re as dedicated to crafting exceptional wine as we are to creating an atmosphere where every sip is a moment of playful discovery, right at the heart of your wine-drinking experience.

Only made when the weather and vineyards are JUST right, only a small amount of icewine is ever made at Red Rooster. Our 2018 Riesling Icewine was first hand picked at 2:30am when temperatures reached -11°C on December 6th 2018. But not all Riesling was ready to go.

We waited, and waited and then finally on February 4th 2019, the temperatures reached -14°C and it was time to pick the final batch of our Riesling to make our exclusive and rare icewine. Limited to less than a 1,000 cases this double gold medal winner explodes with flavour. Beautifully golden in colour featuring balancing acidity this wine showcases notes of juicy peach, rich mandarin orange, and floral honey. Serve with local BC cheeses, rich dishes with foie gras or live mousse, or with peach based desserts.
