In Niagara they're making icewine from Cabernet Franc which gives a gorgeous pinky-red colour.
I think Riesling is considered as making the best quality icewine but probably the best variety for making ice wine is Vidal.
I haven't had too much German icewine. A very expensive Riesling I had (bought in Frankfurt duty free) was sweet but had so much acidity .... Less expensive ones from German varieties such as Sheurebe and Sylvaner have been beutifully unctuously sweet.
