Inniskillin continues to dominate the Icewine category by capturing more than 50 percent of recent awards for this iconic global wine. Winemaker Bruce Nicholson is pleased to see the broad recognition for Inniskillin Icewines as they continue with their consistently high quality. “I am particularly proud of my 2008 Riesling Icewine as I feel this is the best Riesling Icewine I have ever produced.”
Award-winning Icewine is synonymous with Inniskillin, Canada?s original estate winery and leader of Icewine throughout the world. They are widely available in 73 countries and on 28 airlines. Nicholson is equally as proud of the awards garnered for his table wines.
