Germany harvests ice wine
>> Wednesday, January 23, 2008
On November 18-19 weather was cold enough in Germany to harvest the famed ice wine, Eiswein. 1500 l Riesling and 1200 l Pinot Noir (!) were harvested in freezing weather in Baden. Rheingau, Nahe, and Franken also made some ice wine, as well as small quantities in Mosel. This years abundant German harvest made more growers leave some grapes on the vines in the hope of having the possibility to make some of the exclusive Eiswein. wein-plus.com
