Recently Pillitteri Estates Winery located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada received a Gold Medal from “Syrah du Monde,” for their 2006 Shiraz Icewine. This competition is devoted to Syrah or Shiraz wines. Quality and stiff requirements make this competition highly competitive. The competition itself takes place over two days with wines from 23 countries. This year 128 medals were awarded.
This month I had the opportunity to taste icewines produced from red wines and really enjoyed them. For me there seemed to be more fruit flavors compared to white icewines.
If you enjoy icewines, which would you rather drink?
