Eiswein

[winoweenie]

Hi Pam. Succintly answered, No Eiswein isn't cheap. Yes it is delicious. The method of production is as follows. The last of the grapes from vineyard (Normally white varietals) are left on the vines until the 1st freeze of the winter. They are then picked immediately, brought into the winery and pressed while still frozen. As the water is frozen the remaining drop of juice is extremely concentrated, Taakes lots of berries to make a bottle of wine. There are some Late-Harvest wines on the market that you mite try that wont send you to the poor-house. They normally have the RS (residual sugar) % on the label. Anything that shows 6-7% or above is sweet. WW
