is made from frozen grapes. Same as eiswein (German).
A rich, flavorful dessert wine, which is made by picking grapes that are frozen on the vine, then pressing them before they thaw. Because much of the water in the grapes is frozen, the resulting juice is concentrated - rich in flavor and high in sugar and acid. Ice wines are renowned in Germany, where they`re called Eiswein (pronounced ice-vine).
This is an intense desert wine that has been made from very ripe grapes (without Botrytis) that were frozen on the vine. The frozen water is removed during pressing, leaving a very sweet must. In German it is known as "eiswein." A modern technique called cryroextraction utilizes a freezer in place of mother nature.
A dessert wine made from ripe grapes grown in very cold climates that have been left on the vine and allowed to freeze. The grapes are pressed so as to leave the frozen water behind concentrating the sugars, acidity and flavour. A Canadian specialty.
In Germany they are called Eiswein. It is wine made from grapes that have been left on the vine until they freeze. When the grapes are pressed, the water is left behind as ice crystals. The nectar that is pressed out makes a fabulous desert wine.
Wine made from frozen grapes. Called eiswein in German.
Ice wine, made from frozen grapes, is very sweet, but still light and delicate.
Wine made from grapes that are frozen when picked. Ice wine has highly concentrated sugar so it is more sweet and acidic.
Ice wine (or Icewine or Eiswein in German) is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, so the result is a concentrated, often very sweet wine. The effect is comparable to the freeze distillation that was traditionally used to make applejack and similar beverages, but in the case of ice wines, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterwards.
