NV Ice Cuvée Sparkling, Peller
(6x75cl)
Very fine bubbles spiral upwards, through this brilliant yellow straw coloured wine. The bouquet of apricot, yeast and ripe apple, with hints of honey, are followed by tropical fruits on the palate and a refreshing sweet grapefruit finish.

90 points – It shows lavish peachy and apricot flavours, with a sweet mouthfeel but a dry twist at the end. Very addictive - Gordon Stimmel, Toronto Star, December 20 2006
3 stars out of 5 – Vines magazine, January/February 2007
"It’s deftly made fizz offering excellent value and with a small amount of ice wine – made from grapes which have frozen to the vine – dosed in to enrich and boost flavour. Amazing and well worth tracking down." Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday, November 2010
"or a fruitier fizz, consider sparkling ice wines from Canada. Peller Ice Cuvee is mellow and fruitful and hugely popular …." Olly Smith, Mail On Sunday, August 2012
"Champagne is a classic pairing but this year my favourite match is from Canada. Peller Ice Cuvee, a slightly rounder, more fruity fizz that picks up in the intensity of the smoky and salty salmon and delivers an outstanding pairing. "
Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday, December 2012 (Christmas food pairing with smoked salmon)
