Pelee Island Vidal Ice Wine 2023

Henrik Larsen — Perfect with cheese

9/10

Had this with a blue cheese board at a friend's house and I'm still thinking about it weeks later. The candied citrus peel thing is real, you can actually taste it. Really lingering finish too — the kind where you just sit there for a second before taking another sip. Tracked down a bottle for myself the next day.

Elena Vasquez — Dinner party show-off bottle

8/10

Brought this out after dinner instead of pudding and it went down brilliantly. The apricot jam flavour is bang on and it's got more body than I expected from a dessert wine. A little goes a long way too so the bottle actually lasts. Great conversation starter — half the table had never had Canadian ice wine before.

Petra Novak — Nice but pricey

7/10

Got this as a birthday present and it's good, don't get me wrong. Lovely tropical fruit flavours and the sweetness doesn't overpower everything. But sixty quid is a lot for a small bottle of wine and I'm not sure I'd buy it again myself when there are cheaper options out there.
