THE ICE HOUSE WINERY
About Us
Meet Jamie Macfarlane - The Husband
Icewine Maker, Jamie Macfarlane, began his winemaking career in Côte D’Or, France. When he returned to Canada he joined the team to create the first Niagara commercial Icewine. Jamie produced countless award-winning wines during his 25 years as a senior Canadian winemaker. In 2005, he fulfilled his vision to establish The Ice House Winery and focus on being the Icewine maker of the highest quality product with countless awards from Monde Selection, including a Gold and Grand Gold in 2020.
Jamie knows the Niagara region is the powerhouse of Icewine. Although Icewine was invented in Germany, Jamie has consecutively produced Icewine for over 30 years and has learned how to perfect it with the Canadian climate. A man of both passion and perseverance, Jamie has managed to make his dream a reality and is an international business consultant for winemaking.
Meet Karen King - The Wife
Karen King has applied her business and sensory expertise to support Jamie’s expertise as a master winemaker. He developed his unique award winning Icewines through Karen's research that identified that consumers preferred a more balanced Icewine with a complex fruit forward delivery that had a crisp rather than sweet finish.
Each Northern Ice Premium Icewine varietal provides a crisp finish to the distinctive sweet fruit complexity that each one delivers. Visit The Ice House Winery for the taste experience of their award winning Icewine, acknowledged by Monde Selection as the best in the world.

About:
This Grand Gold medal winning Northern Ice Vidal Icewine is aging beautifully, maintaining its ripe peach, apricot top note and its clean, crisp finish. Time has intensified and lengthened its overall flavour delivery with a distinctive pear note. This Icewine launched Jamie into the international big leagues with his “toasting” style Icewine. Crisp. Intense flavours. Complex. Clean. Great with spicy foods with a cayenne heat complexity.Research told us some people were not dessert wine fans and Icewine was too sweet. Our challenge was to create a new toasting style of Icewine that enhances the big flavours of spicy tapas and other complex foods from around the world. After winning a Grand Gold at Monde Selection with our first vintage and again with the 2016, we are thrilled with how our Vidal Icewine provides the crisp, fruity complexity and power to stand up to exotic, spicy flavours that linger.
If you love the taste of Moscato wine, blend equal amounts of Northern Ice Vidal and sparkling water and white wine for a new taste sensation

Food Pairing:
Our Northern Ice Signature Series Gewürztraminer has fresh blood orange, lychee and grapefruit notes plus a refreshing crispness. Think Exotic when pairing Gewürztraminer with food. Its best pairings happen when you step outside of traditional French cuisine into experimenting with the unique spicing of Middle Eastern and Moroccan cuisine.
