Product description
Lakeview Cellars Cabernet Franc Icewine is a distinctive dessert wine that brings together the elegant character of the Cabernet Franc grape with the intense sweetness typical of icewines. Crafted from late-harvested grapes that are pressed while frozen, it offers a concentrated, rich flavour profile and a full, silky mouthfeel.
On the nose, ripe red berries immediately appear: strawberry, cranberry and cherry. These are joined by subtle spicy notes that make the first impression already feel special. With time in the glass, the wine continues to open up, revealing additional layers of aroma and complexity.
Flavour profile and style
On the palate, this Icewine delivers deep, complex fruit flavours, complemented by a pronounced yet refined peppery spice. This spicy character balances the natural sweetness, so the wine remains harmonious rather than heavy, with a rounded, well-structured feel. The finish is long, fruit-driven and gently spicy, inviting you back for another sip.
This is a full-bodied, concentrated dessert wine that fits comfortably into the world of premium dessert wines, while the Cabernet Franc grape variety lends it a distinctive and memorable personality.
Serving suggestions
Lakeview Cellars Cabernet Franc Icewine is an excellent choice to close a meal, served alongside dessert or enjoyed on its own as a luxurious sweet course. It pairs particularly well with fruit-based desserts, pies, lightly spiced cakes and soft, creamy cheeses.
For the best experience, serve lightly chilled so that the fruity and spicy notes can shine clearly, while maintaining a balanced interplay between sweetness and acidity.
Who is it for?
This Icewine is well suited to those who enjoy characterful, fruit-forward dessert wines and are keen to explore new and exciting flavour combinations. It is a stylish option for festive occasions, gifting, or elevating a special evening when you are looking for an elegant, memorable glass of wine.
