Introducing our new Ice Wine, affectionately named, "An Ice Break". Ken had fun making this one! It starts with waiting for the first freeze.... Then taking the equipment right out into the vineyard and pressing the frozen grapes right off the vine. When the grape freezes, the water freezes and separates from the syrup. The syrup does not freeze, therefore when the grapes are pressed you get pure syrup. This makes for a wonderfully sweet dessert wine. Our Ice Wine is made with riesling ice grapes. The ending sugar content is 17 brix. Once again, we had to wait for label approval from the PA liquor control board. Tina did a wonderful job designing the label. After submission and waiting and perfecting and waiting..... It has finally been approved! Just in time for Ice Fest- we couldn't be more excited to share this with downtown Chambersburg! We received the labels from our printer the very next day. Ken and Jim worked all day and got all the bottles labeled with capsules on. This is a pretty bottle. It is 375ml, and is long and slender. The pretty blue label pops against the white wine!
This wine will be featured every winter starting near the beginning of the Chambersburg Ice Fest. However, it is a popular one- and once it's gone for the season it won't be back until next winter. So come in and enjoy "An Ice Break" -make sure you get it soon- trust me- you don't want to miss this one!
