“ Sweet earth, pineapple and honey aromas lead into wonderful
coconut, pineapple and melon on the palate, culminating in a
long lingering seductive finish.”-<em>Ray Einberger, Winemaker</em>
<p>
The Columbia Crest Reserve Semillon Ice Wine is a
brilliant, complex wine with unusual origins.
</p>
<p>
Like many great European ice wines, this wine was crafted
from grapes left hanging on the vine into December. During
the 2005 harvest, we designated a Semillon block from the
Columbia Crest Estate suitable for dessert wine. The block
was repeatedly evaluated during the ensuing weeks, and
after each evaluation we opted for longer hang time. Cooler
temperatures blew through the vineyard late in the year, and
as the thermometer registered 17°F December 9, 2005, harvest
commenced.
</p>
<p>
Rock solid grapes were harvested and pressed just until the
grape juice was liberated from the fruit. Because the sweet
juice melts before the water component, the remaining
frozen fruit material was quickly discarded to avoid diluting
the rich, succulent nectar. The juice fermented in stainless
steel tanks, then was filtered and bottled.
