History
Wine from classified single vineyards are distinctive in character. The influences of soil and microclimate lend these wines an inimitable note. In accordance with VDP guidelines, we use vineyard names only if the site meets the criteria for classification set forth in 1999.
Harvest & Vinification
100% Riesling, the grapes are selectively harvested by hand andgently transported to the cellar in containers thatcan be emptied over the wine press, thus making it possible to completely dispense with crushing and pumping.
Fermentation takes place in temperaturecontrolled stainless steel tanks after the musts settle.
Colour
Intense golden yellow.
Tasting notes
Complex with elegant sweetness, fine herbal and citrus aromas with delicate floral scent, quince, yellow apple and peach. Clear notes of mineral tones. Characteristic style that clearly shows it’s origin.
Food pairing
Icewine is a concentrated, intense wine that needs to be poured in small portions. Some sweeter desserts may actually detract from the experience so it should not be paired with a food that is sweeter than the Icewine itself.
Icewine is typically enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or as a compliment to a special dessert. Also, most of the cheese universe pairs brilliantly with Icewine.
Riesling based Icewine is renowned for its acidityand mineral notes. Its vivid orange and citrus tones will combine with a rich range of creamy and decadent food textures and tastes, from Foie gras to Crème brulée.
