Charmion, the wines of Ontario are WELL worth a visit, unfortunately only very rarely available here in the UK,
Eiswein!!!! Oh Heaven!!!!!
and Henry of Pelham wines , esp. Baco Noir a DARK red wine of exciting flavour and depth.
My Ex FiL took me on a tour of the Niagra peninsula wineries (What a kind Man!!) and I had the opportunity to taste several very nice wines, Chateau de Charmes had an excellent Pinot Noir as well as some Class 1 whites their Reisling was amazing.
The Eiswein (according to the Winemaster at Chateau de Charmes)can ONLY be made and called Eiswein if the temperature falls below -5C and stays there for 3 successive days, (a FULL 72 hours) this means leaving the grapes on the vine into December then gathered and (still frozen) pressed, the ice removes water from the Grape juice so that the must(the grape extract that is actually fermented)is very concentrated in flavour and sugar so produces a complex and loooooong tasting wine with an (often) dry foretaste then a sweetish (depending on the original grape) middle aand often a drier finish. A good example will still be on your palate for 2 or three minutes after 1 sip!!! The Winemaster told us in one of their early years after the vinyard was set up the conditions were met at 6 pm Christmas Eve and EVERYONE on the Estate, including Office staff, and the Family turned to under lights to hand harvest the Grapes. this is why Eiswein can be EXPENSIVE maybe as much as $50-100 Canadian a half bottle!!!!
