"Icewine" - Limited Edition giclée art print by artist Carm Dix
Title
Regular price
$70.00
Grapes frozen on the vine are handpicked in the still of a mid-winter night and quickly pressed to release their intense flavours. The challenges of manufacturing icewine make it very rare and valuable as it can only be made in a few select parts of the world. The region of Niagara has traditionally been known for wine and romance the world over. Creating many of the worlds best icewines, Niagara has become more than just the honeymoon capital of the world. This mix-media painting of watercour and arcylic bridges the gap between the worlds of art and wine and again highlights Niagara for its beauty and uniqueness. The female cardinal so common to the Niagara region, reigns majestically above the frozen grapes of icewine treasure below.
It is because it is so difficult to produce, that icewine is considered so valuable. Nestled between two of the Great lakes and hidden below an escarpment, the Niagara region has the perfect climate for creating this rare wine. Yet despite the ideal climate, not all grapes can make icewine. Only the thick-skinned, late maturing varieties such as Riesling and Vidal can withstand the strain of freezing. Approximately one kilogram of ripe grapes produces sufficient juice to ferment into one bottle of wine. The liquid is too cold to ferment so a special yeast is added to activate the process. Due to the high sugar levels, fermentation is very slow and can take months. Once bottled, the amber wine has the capacity to age for more than a decade. Ontario icewine captured France's highest award possible, the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Bordeaux's Vinexpo in 1991.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an art print and a Limited Edition Print?
Art prints are open editions and are not subject to running out of stock. Limited Edition means the publisher has committed to only producing a limited number of prints and NO MORE than that - FOREVER. These art prints are individually hand signed and numbered by the artist. At the bottom of each print in an edition, the artist pencils in their signature and numbers which individual print it is of the total created. 12/450 penciled in the bottom of the Limited Edition means, for example, that this was the 12th print to be signed and that there were only 450 prints ever made. It tends to be the choice of collectors looking for more of a rare art selection, personally signed by the artist.
What is the difference between paper size and image size ?
Paper art prints have a white border around the image. Typically this frames the image like a white matte does- helping the framer and emphasizing the image. Frame Image size reflects the dimensions of the image itself whereas paper size includes the white border in the dimensions. Since most artists sign and number their prints just below the image, some of this white border will be visible when framed. All Limited Edition art prints are listed with both the paper size and image size so you and your framer can decide how much white edge surrounding the image you prefer to see. Many or the Paris Collection are also printed with a uniform image size with multiple/collection presentation in mind.
When will my art arrive ?
Art prints ship typically ship within 2 - 3 business days after you place your order. Limited Edition Art prints ship within a day or two. Shipping time is typically within 7 or 14 days. You will be notified by email as it is tracked to your destination.
How will my art be packaged ?
We take extra care to make sure your art arrives ready to love. Unframed prints are carefully protected for shipping and framed art is securely packaged to help keep it safely in place along the way. An unframed art print, for example, is specifically shipped in a triangle/tube for protection. The print is encased in tissue for ease of removal along with a receipt and a letter of thank you from the artist. The Art Studio is diligent about shipping care but please be careful removing the art from the shipping triangle/tube - thank you.
