i doubt it. call the winery and ask. it depends on the winery, bottling, cork, how have you stored it. i doubt you spent major money on it, so just dump it and it gives you an excuse to get another one!

Ice wine is higher in alcohol content than normal wines and the alcohol is what preserves it. That said, you did not need to store it in the fridge at all; however, it will likely last at least 9-15 years unopened in any low light environment.

If your bottle has been store properly and the wine is not showing any signs of sickness i.e., turning cloudy or milky, then it should still be OK. Ice wines have high sugar contents that act as a natural preservative. Please don't refrigerate until you plan on serving it. Should you have some left, like a half a bottle, repack the cork and you can freeze it until later. This will not affect the wine, you will just have to thaw and swirl it to remix the components.

Ice wines and other dessert wines are different than table wines, I have had a bottle of Quady's Essensia opened in the fridge for months and it has been fine.

If it's unopened, it will still be fine. I have bottles of icewine that are even older - like 1996 and 1997.

Ice wine can be stored for many years, like most other wines.
However, when storing wines in the refrigerator, sometime strong smells can affect the wine through the cork. Take this into consideration when keeping your wines in the refrigerator - only chill wines that are going to be consumed.
If you need to bring unopened wines out of the refrigerator - the wine is very delicate! Consider slowing changes in temperature - using insulated wine bags or something like a blanket. Rapid changes in temperature can affect the wine.
