Inniskillin operates in Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, where cool-climate conditions and lakeside influence create ideal terrain for aromatic white wines. The winery focuses on Riesling and Vidal, varieties that thrive in this region's temperature swings and produce wines of distinctive character. The Niagara Estate Riesling showcases the dry expression of the grape, while the Riesling Icewine and Gold Vidal Icewine represent the concentrated, dessert-style wines for which the Niagara Peninsula has become recognized. These icewines result from harvesting grapes after frost, concentrating sugars and acidity into small volumes of intense liquid. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter have all rated Inniskillin's portfolio, reflecting the technical precision required to produce wines in this cool climate.
