With residual sugar levels often ranging from 160 to over 300 grams per liter, ice wine is indeed high in sugar. This intensely sweet dessert wine owes its unique character to a specific, labor-intensive winemaking process where grapes are harvested and pressed while frozen on the vine.

Research indicates that ice wine, like other grape wines, contains antioxidant polyphenols, yet its unique production process concentrates sugars to a level far exceeding most table wines.
