In Stock
About every two years, Strewn makes a limited amount of Icewine from red grapes and the 2013 vintage delivers beautiful flavour and texture. The juice was over 40 Brix when the grapes were pressed in early January 2014. A lovely rustic red hue and luscious palate displaying fabulous berry and dried fruit.
