Niagara winemaker Ilya Senchuk dried 20 per cent of the grapes for two months in the appassimento style traditional in Italy's Veneto region. The technique added richness and sugar concentration to the must and the result is captivating. Slightly sweeter than off-dry, this white carries an icewine-like flavour of tinned apricot and ripe peach, balanced attractively by lime-like acidity. Perfect for Indian curries. $27.40 in Manitoba.
