Securing the first post-Prohibition winery license in Ontario, they planted Vitis vinifera varieties in 1974, a bold move for the region. In 1978, they relocated to the Brae Burn Estate, restoring a 1920s barn. Inniskillin pioneered Canadian icewine, producing its first Vidal Icewine in 1984 after netting grapes to protect them from birds. The winery gained global acclaim when its 1989 Vidal Icewine won the Grand Prix d’Honneur at Vinexpo in 1991. Since 1994, Inniskillin has operated a second winery in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley. Acquired by Constellation Brands in 2006, it remains a leader in Canadian winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture Philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInniskillin manages 30 acres at its Niagara estate and sources from over 300 acres in the Niagara Peninsula, leveraging the region's unique microclimate and glacial soils. In Okanagan, it cultivates the Dark Horse Vineyard in collaboration with the Okanaqueen Tribe. Focusing on varieties suited to cooler climates, such as Vidal, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc, the winery emphasizes sustainable practices and low-intervention viticulture to highlight terroir, particularly for its signature icewines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Techniques\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInniskillin's icewines, notably Vidal and Cabernet Franc, are made from grapes frozen on the vine, hand-picked, and pressed at sub-zero temperatures to concentrate sugars and acidity. Table wines, including Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel or oak, with reds often aged in French barriques for structure. The winery balances tradition and innovation, using clean energy from grape byproducts since 2017. Winemaker Bruce Nicholson and Nicholas Gizuk craft VQA wines with precision, ensuring varietal purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics and Journalist Praises\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInniskillin's Vidal Icewine is a benchmark, with the 1989 vintage earning the Grand Prix d’Honneur at Vinexpo, redefining Canadian wine globally. Wine Enthusiast named Inniskillin New World Winery of the Year, and Drinks International listed it among the World's 50 Most Admired Wine Brands. The International Wine and Spirits Competition awarded it Sweet Wine Producer of the Year. Critics praise the Vidal Icewine for its “floral, mango, and golden raisin” notes, ideal with desserts or cheeses like Gruyère. Visitors on TripAdvisor laud the winery's tours and tastings, particularly the Cabernet Franc Icewine paired with chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"inniskillin-cabernet-franc-icewine-2022-half-bottle","title":"Inniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine 2022 (Half Bottle)","description":"\u003cbody\u003e\n\n\n    \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n    \u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\"\u003e\n    \u003ctitle\u003eInniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine 2022\u003c\/title\u003e\n    \u003cstyle\u003e\n        body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 20px; }\n        h2 { color: #333; }\n        h4 { color: #555; }\n        p { margin: 10px 0; }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\n\n    \u003ch2\u003eInniskillin Cabernet Franc Icewine 2022\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrom Inniskillin in Ontario’s Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Cabernet Franc Icewine 2022 is a refined 100% Cabernet Franc from vineyards on mineral-rich soils.
