The Fort Wine Co.'s Iced Apple Wine won Gold at the 2006 and 2005 All Canadian Wine Championships, and Best Dessert Wine in Show at the 2004 Northwest Wine Summit.

This sweet and complex wine is made using a process called "cryo-extraction". A careful blend of premium B.C. apples are chosen, juiced and flash frozen. A slow thaw to extract the concentrated essence and flavourful juice of the apples creates maximum intensity and fruit benefit.
