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.

WINE ADVOCATE/ ROBERT PARKER, rating 90
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
