Grüner Veltliner is especially good for Eiswein. Because of this variety’s thick skin, the grapes can hang on the vines for a very long time without any damage occurring. According to the Austrian wine law (unlike other countries) the grapes must be frozen naturally and can only be harvested at a minimum temperature of -7°C or below that.

A pure, deep and complex nose of vivid, luscious fruit, marmalade, dried mangoes, sweet apricots, pepper, spices and cream. Harmonious and waxy, with a full body and a super unctuous, mouthwatering finish. Impeccable harmony and balance of sweetness, concentration and freshness. Sheer nectar. Sip slowly with soft cheese, creme brulee or lemon-pineapple cake. Drink or hold. (Zekun Shuai, Senior Editor)Vintage 2018

Picked on January 22, 2019 in the Ried Steinsetz and vinified in three 300-liter acacia barrels, the 2018 Grüner Veltliner Eiswein offers a very clear, precise and aromatic bouquet of stewed and concentrated stone fruit intermixed with honey and floral aromas. On the palate, this is a terribly sweet but elegant and fine ice wine with a stunning mineral (and fresh) background.Product description
