**Niagara Peninsula** is Canada's most important wine region, set in Ontario on the strip of land between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie near Niagara Falls. It is world-famous for one thing above all: icewine. **Wines & grapes** — Its signature is intensely sweet icewine, made from grapes such as Vidal and Riesling frozen on the vine. Beyond that it makes fine dry Riesling and Chardonnay, plus reds and rosés from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and others. **Character** — A cool, continental climate moderated by the surrounding lakes lets grapes hang late, and the reliably cold winters make natural icewine possible year after year. **Good to know** — Canadian icewine is tightly regulated, requiring genuine natural freezing rather than artificial chilling.
