Icewine 2023

Eiswein (Icewine) is a very special wine and one of the most remarkable products that we have because it is exclusively made from completely frozen grapes. The temperature at the harvest has to be at least as low as -7° Celsius. Then the water in the grapes freezes and the concentrated, sugar-rich extract can be pressed out gently. This produces a very rich and sweet juice but the yield is rather low.

In 2023 we were extremely lucky because all winter the low enough temperatures were reached once for a couple of hours. We took the chance and harvested our first Icewine since 2018 - it is not easy in times of global warming! For that reason Icewine is always a precious and rare product which is highly valued by wine enthusiasts.

Tasting notes

This sweet Welschriesling surprises with a fine citrus aroma and tropical notes. Its creamy texture and beautiful interplay of sweetness and acidity leave an extraordinarily aromatic impression.

Food suggestion

Icewine is always good with cheese, with dessert at a big banquet or just for enjoying a glass of sun and ice.

Ageing potential

This wine already gives a lot of drinking pleasure. It can however be stored almost indefinitely because its concentrated constituents have a very positive effect on the further aging process.
