Pillitteri Estates
Pillitteri Estates produces icewines from Ontario's Niagara Peninsula, a region defined by its cool climate and proximity to Lake Ontario—conditions that concentrate sugars in late-harvest grapes and yield the intense, crystalline wines the area is known for. The winery's portfolio centers on Vidal and Riesling icewines, varieties that thrive in the region's continental conditions. Red Leaf Icewine Vidal and Reserve Icewine Vidal represent the winery's work with Vidal, a hybrid grape prized for its ability to achieve high sugar levels while retaining acidity. Icewine Riesling rounds out the core range, drawing on the classic aromatic profile and mineral structure Riesling brings to dessert wines. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast.
