Two labels were made for the Ice Wine. My wife likes the grape stomper and I the grape milker. This wine won a bronze medal at the 2004 Indiana State Fair. On a 1 to 10 sweetness scale, Ice Wine is a 10. It's name comes from the fact that the grapes are harvested immediately after they are frozen solid on the vine, thus concentrating the sugar content. It is a delicious desert wine with tastes of honey, peaches, nectarines, and plums. Not many people have tasted Ice Wine as it is fairly pricey, anywhere from $20 to$80 per bottle depending on the brand. And the bottle is a "split", 375mls as opposed to a regular 750ml wine bottle. Everybody always wants to know if I have any on hand or when will I be making more Ice Wine.
