	Ice wine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ice wine (or icewine or Eiswein in German) is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen.
		The most famous (and expensive) ice wines are German Eiswein, but ice wine is also made in Canada as well as in the United States, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Australia, and New Zealand in smaller quantity.
		Eiswein is part of the QmP category in the German wine classification.

		Also called ice wine or vin de glace, eiswein was developed in Germany in the 18th century, although some wine historians think accidental vintages appeared as early as the ninth century.
		Eiswein is now produced in several areas along the fringes of the world's wine-producing areas where vineyards freeze reliably, including northern Germany and Austria, New Zealand, and Ontario, Canada, which dominates global production.
		Eiswein differs from Sauternes-style dessert wines, Chateau d'Yquem being the most famous, which depend on a fungus (Botrytis cinerea or the "noble rot") to shrivel and sweeten infected grapes.

		(As its sound-alike translation, "ice wine," indicates, Eiswein is made from frozen grapes.) Legend has it that, in 1794, the sudden onset of an early winter and accompanying drop in temperatures left dumbfounded villagers staring at vines dripping with icy fruit transformed to the consistency of marble.
		The availability of European Eiswein is, however, unpredictable, as weather conditions in Germany and Austria—where winters never get as consistently cold as in Canada—provide the right conditions for Eiswein only once every three or four years.
		Eiswein is also delicious with fruit desserts that echo its characteristic apricot, nectarine, and peach notes.

	Egon Müller Scharzhof - Wines - Philosophy - Eiswein
		Eiswein is made from frozen grapes, often after the end of the regular harvest.
		The press separates the solid from the liquid and in the case of Eiswein a portion of the grape juice remains as ice on the press.
		The juice is thus concentrated and the factor of concentration increases as the temperature decreases.

	WINE BUSINESS MONTHLY
		In 1890 experiments for eiswein making were done under conditions at which the temperature would drop from +10 to -12 °C. With fermentation times of 15 months, those wines reached an alcohol content of up to 15.3 percent by volume.
		The important difference between eiswein and conventional mechanical harvesting is that the stroke frequency of the harvester is reduced, and the speed is doubled, for eiswein.
		The eiswein film has its advantages, especially in years of typically humid and cold weather in November, and a harvest in December, because it prevents the leaching-out of the sugar from the grapes.

	Eiswein
		Eiswein could be considered as an extreme form of the late harvest method; the grapes are left to hang on the vine long after the usual moment of harvest.
		Although eiswein will forever be associated with Germany more than anywhere else, there are a few other regions in the world making genuine and very good attempts at this style of wine.
		Austrian eiswein certainly exists, as do examples from America, Australia and Slovenia, but it is Canadian eiswein that has hit the headlines in recent years.

		Krebs-Grode, Eiswein, Auxerrois, Eiswein Rheinhessen, 1998: Medium bodied, with abundant spices on a deliciously sweet background of pineapples, lime and apricots and with generous hints of sweet cream and minerals, this superbly balanced and remarkably elegant wine has flavors that linger seemingly without end.

		To make Eiswein a unique process is undertaken whereby ripe, healthy grapes are left on the vine past normal harvest.
		Just the opposite of late harvest grapes in other regions, Eiswein is made only in years when the grapes are not affected by the "noble rot," botrytis (bo-trie-tiss).
		Germany may be synonymous with Eiswein but ice wines are produced in other parts of the world such as Austria, the Finger Lakes region of New York state as well as in Ontario, Canada.

	Riesling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most expensive wines made from Riesling are late harvest dessert wines, produced by letting the grapes hang on the vines well past normal picking time.
		Through evaporation caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea ("noble rot") or by freezing, as in the case of ice wine (in German, Eiswein), water is removed and the resulting wine offers richer layers on the palate.
		These concentrated wines have more sugar (in extreme cases hundreds of grams per liter), more acid (to give balance to all the sugar), more flavors, etc. Due to its concentration, late-harvest Rieslings are among the longest-lived of all wines.

	Tony Aspler: The Wine Guy
		Since 1982 German Eisweine have to be at least Beerenauslese level in terms of sugar readings at harvest.
		As a result, German Eisweine are generally lower in alcohol (some as low as 6.5 per cent, most around 8—9 per cent — Ontario's range from 9 per cent to 10.5 per cent and higher).
		While both styles rely on the balance of residual sugar and acidity, German Eisweine tend to be more racy; it's the acidity that drives the wines rather than the fruit.

		Due to the certainty of the conditions, production of Beerenausleses, Trockenbeerenausleses, and Eisweins is relatively regular, and supplies (compared to Germany, for instance) are abundant.
