Wagner Vineyards Riesling Ice Wine 2022 Review

A Sweet Winter Treasure!

Takeaway

If you want a dessert wine that feels like an experience, the 2022 Wagner Riesling Ice Wine delivers richness, freshness, and pure indulgence in every sip.

First Thought

This week we opened something we don’t drink often, a desert wine. It is one of those bottles that feels more like an event than just another glass of wine.

We knew to expect sweetness, but the real question was whether it would bring enough freshness to stay lively instead of feeling syrupy. That balance would make or break it!

Tasting NOtes

The first swirl released a rush of honey, apricot, and ripe peach, with a perfumed floral lift that kept the nose light. On the palate, the wine was full and concentrated, but the brightness of crisp acidity balanced the sweetness beautifully.

Layers of tropical pineapple, more peach, and a citrus tang carried through the finish. The texture was lush without being sticky, and the flavors lingered long after each sip, making it a wine you want to savor slowly.
