Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of cinnamon apple, orange blossom honey, poached pear, and apple blossom with a syrupy, racy, fruity sweet medium-to-full body and a tingling, subtle, long finish evoking nuances of spiced apple butter, apple cinnamon bread, baked sweet pear, and wild flower honey. Walks the fine wine line between apple cider and apple wine and is quite delicious in its well-executed balance of sugar and acid; like drinking a fresh apple.

About
Ice Cider
Ice cider is a specialty of the Canadian province of Quebec and is the cider version of ice wine, as it is made from the juice of frozen apples. These apples are picked at the end of January and are then pressed and fermented, a process that takes months. Alcohol is between 7% and 13%. They have intriguing flavors of spiced apple, honey and custard. Most are still, but some have a light effervescence. Enjoy on their own or with vanilla ice cream.
