Why this works?
The Icewine has intense flavours of apricot, nectarine, candied peaches, peach jam and wild honey. The smokiness from the bacon and honey compliment the rich fruit and spice, while the honey also compliments the sweetness in the Icewine. The Riesling shows lots of acidity and refreshes your palette after this rich and decadent delight!
