2020 tasting

Hello,

You may already have heard how the 2020 vintage in Niagara was phenomenal, I even refer to it as "The Vintage of the Century". Icellars made 6 wines from this hot and dry vintage. As it is always the case, in good years we only got half of the yield we should get in a normal year.

We aged these wines 24-26 months in French oak barrels (Chardonnay 18 months) and bottled in December 2022. We have been asked so many times if these wines are available for tasting. We are holding a 2020 wines tasting event on April 23rd, 2023 Sunday between 12:00pm-16:30pm at the winery to taste all of these wines. We will be closing the winery for this event so no regular tastings that day.

There will be cheese, cold cut meats and lots of other light foods to pair with. We will welcome you with a sample of our traditional sparkling wine Cuvee Elif Fifty on your arrival. 

We especially picked April 23rd as it would be our beloved Simba's 11th birthday. He will not be around physically but we will have a toast to his beautiful soul.

Tickets are very limited as we want this event to be exclusive. Tickets are $75 tax included per person ($50 for our wine club members) and are offered to our e-mail subscribers first at this link.

2020 - " The Vintage of the Century " tasting

If there are any tickets left it will be put on our website.

For our friends that can not make that day, we also have you covered. We freshly bottled 50 ml samples of these six 2020 wines for you to try at your convenience. Please check our online store below to order.

Stay well.
