Ice wine is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been naturally frozen on the vine. The freezing process concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes, resulting in a sweet and rich wine. Typically, the grapes are harvested in the winter when temperatures drop to around -8°C (17°F) or lower. This unique wine is primarily made in regions with cold climates, such as Germany and Canada. The most common grape varieties used for ice wine include Riesling and Cabernet Franc. Ice wine is often enjoyed chilled and pairs well with desserts or cheese.
