Wisconsin is one of the few places in the world where authentic ice wine can be grown and produced. The grapes that produce ice wine must be picked only after the grapes have frozen solid on the vine. This usually requires constant temperatures of 15° or colder for several days. The grapes are then pressed while still frozen, extracting very concentrated sugars, as all the water content of the grape is removed as frozen crystals. What results is an intensely layered wine that cannot be produced in any other way. This is a specialty wine requiring extensive labor and care, with very limited yields. What is pressed is only a fraction of what would have been harvested had these grapes been picked at their typical harvest time of mid to late September. The 2022 vintage is our sixth ice wine release and is made from the St. Pepin grape. Our Ice wine has consistently won high awards when entered in competitions, being one of the highest rated wines in many competitions.
