Peller Family Estates Cabernet Franc Icewine

A vibrant cranberry red colour with an aromatic bouquet of wild strawberry, red cherry, rhubarb, red currant jelly and red licorice. This Icewine has a rich, silky mouthfeel with wonderful flavours of baked strawberry, rhubarb and cherry. Lovely notes of pomegranate molasses, baked red berries, and brown sugar linger on the finish. The perfect balance of natural sweetness and refreshing acidity.

It all began in 1927, when my grandfather, Andrew Peller, first arrived in Canada from Hungary. Having owned a series of successful businesses, he came here to finally pursue his dream. He envisioned a day when Canadians, like Europeans, would come to appreciate premium-quality wines and enjoy sharing them with family and friends. After exhaustive research, he decided to plant his first vineyards in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley and, soon afterwards, to open a modest winery in that province as well. As the seeds of his dream were firmly taking root out West, he began looking eastward. Many years and countless setbacks later, he and my father, Joe (who was by then very much involved in the family business), finally made a breakthrough. An offer to purchase a winery. It's been just over 50 years since my grandfather raised a glass to toast his very first vintage, and our family proudly carries on his tradition of crafting wine with an uncommon commitment to quality. In fact, our goals today are higher than ever before as we aim to produce wines that rank among the best in the world.
