Overview
Wayne Gretzky No. 99 Vidal Icewine 2023 is a lusciously sweet Ontario VQA icewine made from Vidal grapes left to freeze naturally on the vine. This 200 mL bottle is a distinctly Canadian gift, pairing a famous name with one of the country's signature wine styles.
Tasting Notes
Intense, focused and long, with plentiful ripe tropical kiwi and pineapple alongside peach, orange and honey. Luscious and sweet, yet held in pitch perfect balance by bright, lively acidity. Scored 90 points at the 2024 National Wine Awards of Canada.
Food Pairings
Foie Gras Torchon: Rich, buttery texture meets the wine's honeyed sweetness in a classic match.
Blue Cheese: A salty, pungent cheese contrasts beautifully with the wine's tropical fruit.
Peach Cobbler: The dessert's baked stone fruit mirrors the peach and honey notes in the glass.
Lemon Tart: Bright citrus in the tart echoes the wine's acidity and orange notes.
Serving & Storage
Serve chilled at 8 to 10°C in a small dessert wine glass, pouring modest measures so the richness can be savoured. Once opened, reseal and refrigerate; the high sugar helps it keep well for several days.
Gifting & Occasion
A compact, memorable gift for hockey fans, holiday hosts and international visitors looking for something unmistakably Canadian, and an easy addition to a gift basket or dessert course.
Producer & Region
Wayne Gretzky Estates is based in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, where cold winters make it possible to harvest grapes frozen on the vine. Pressing the frozen grapes yields only a few drops of concentrated juice, which is why icewine is so rich, intense and prized.
