In the world of viticulture, ice wines are the new kid on the block — or are they? Back in Roman times, Pliny the Elder wrote that certain grape varieties should not be harvested until the first frost had occurred. And the poet Martial recommended that grapes be left on the vine until November, or until they stiffened with frost. Whether or not the Romans were on to something has been lost to history, but one thing is for sure: Canadian winemakers are taking their advice and surrendering their grapes to the frost — and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
