when you are in melb, go visit some of the wineries.. they have pretty good dessert wine for much less money...Originally posted by Rhonda:Hmm... ice wine sounds like something I'd love to try!
I have a fav here, it is called Jenke, their botrytis semillion is very very nice and reasonably priced. Another fav of mine is the Chateau Tunanda's Botrytis very nice too. Last sweet wine to recommend is the raked Chenin Blanc by Crieole i think that is how it is spelt. -

FYI info on how to make icewine... they are also made in Germany.
To make Icewine, the grapes are left on the vine until after the first frost hits. These grapes are harvested after being frozen in the vineyard and then, while still frozen, they are pressed. They must be picked early - before 10 a.m. During both of these processes the temperature cannot exceed -8 degrees C. At this temperature (-8 degrees C) the berries will freeze as hard as marbles. While the grape is still in its frozen state, it is pressed and the water is driven out as shards of ice. This leaves a highly concentrated juice, very high in acids, sugars and aromatics.
Note that the grapes must be naturally frozen otherwise it does not count as icewine. No artificial freezing is allowed. -
hey LS, nice balloons.. for your bday?

eh? hmm, isnt wine kept for longer time for it to mature? how about other alcohol, like whisky and XO?Originally posted by breytonhartge:Inniskillin seems to be the only one that is imported into singapore as far as I know.
It is to be had as a dessert or part of the dessert.
How old is it? should drink it before the wine spoils. Especially in the warm weather in Singapore. Generally reds keep better than whites, the max amount of time you want to keep a white is about 7 years, otherwise might turn into vinegar... yuk... and inniskillin is too expensive to waste... hey lau, left you a recepie for your salmon too... go check it out.
oh, thanks from my mum on the recipes -
Ah lau, for you......Originally posted by laurence82:Hmm, from what i know, wont frost spoil the harvest?

these grapes are specifically chosen so that they can endure the process for ice wine. These varieties of grapes which are quite a few ripen later and this gives them a better chance of surviving. But because of the risk that the growers take in leaving the furits on the vine so long, hence the price of the ice wine...Originally posted by laurence82:Hmm, from what i know, wont frost spoil the harvest? -
Don't bluff.Originally posted by stellazio:

typically for reds, yes, you keep them longer to mature, but with whites and dessert wines, you don't like I said the longest you keep a white is about 7 years otherwise it will start to change and become more like vinegar.Originally posted by laurence82:eh? hmm, isnt wine kept for longer time for it to mature? how about other alcohol, like whisky and XO?
