A must if you go on a trip to Niagara Falls is to visit the more than 45 wineries. We are going to taste a very special wine tasting that takes place in Niagara on the Lake. The wine production in this area is not very old, we can go back 40 years, but the wineries are becoming very popular.
The must visit is Innikskillin. Inniskillin is a Canadian winery located as mentioned above in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario.
At the Innikskillin winery they are waiting for the miraculous development that happens in Niagara on the Lake, the miracle is the temperature drop to -8º Celsius – Celsius. The grapes that are left on the vine long after the normal harvest, those grapes begin to freeze, a spectacle that will not take long to bear fruit from this new generation of wines. The water inside the berries will start to freeze into ice, but the sugars in the grapes and the dissolved solids will not freeze. When this is in process it is the ideal temperature for when it is dark to start harvesting this delicious IceWine at Inniskillin.
The IceWine from Inniskillin Winery in Niagara on the Lake has made a worldwide impact in the cold Canadian winters giving it a credibility, which is not disputed that with the variety, quality and consistency the IceWine has attracted worldwide recognition, that quality is Inniskillin Wines.
