What are...?

[Kcwhippet]

Ice wine is made from grapes that have been allowed to freeze on the vines, which concentrates the crush juice thus leaving the resulting wine with quite a bit of residual suger when fermentation stops. There should be enough acidity to keep the wine from tasting like sugar syrup. Foodie should weigh in about Cool Climate Viticulture, having been a winemaker in upstate New York.
