The local ice wine is cloyingly sweet but it is made from a wide range
of grapes. They leave the grapes on the vine until there his a hard
freeze..... -8 C (17F), harvest them at night and press them while they
are still frozen. There are also some late harvest wines made from
various white wine grapes. There are not as sweet as ice wines, but they
are still pretty sweet.
