  • How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine
    How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine that originated in Germany. This "late harvest" wine is traditionally pressed from grapes that are harvested after they freeze on the vine. "Eiswein" literally means "ice wine," and is called so on some labels. If you want to buy eiswein, know the country and the method that produced the bottle to find the best available "ice wine" for your budget. Does this Spark an idea? Instructions 1. o 1 Locate a local wine store or look on line for wine sellers who carry eiswein. o 2 Look for a bottle that fits your price range. German and Austrian Eisweins, which follow established methods of harvest and production, are the European gold standard. However, many less expensive, but still excellent, ice wines come from Austria, New Zealand, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. Not all producers let grapes freeze naturally before harvesting them at night. This time-honored and labor-intensive method of production, as well as the loss of all but a few drops of juice, explains the higher price of traditionally produced ice wine. Some vintners pick the grapes and then artificially freeze them before pressing. Manage Cellar, Share Tasting Notes Free, powerful, and easy to use! o 3 Pick a colorful and fragrant bouquet. Eiswein is distinguished by the contrast between its fragrant sweetness and acidity. A great eiswein is both rich and fresh. Young eisweins have tropical fruit, peach or berry overtones. Older eisweins suggest caramel or honey. Colors can range from white to rose.

  • Reviewed by Stephan Reinhardt, Issue Date 31Th of January 2020, the Wine Advocate
    Reviewed by Stephan Reinhardt, Issue Date 31th of January 2020, The Wine Advocate EVA FRICKE SCHLOSSBERG Riesling I Rating QbA 94P From party ungrafted vines that are at least 80 years old, the 2018 Lorcher Schlossberg Riesling is fascinatingly pure, fresh and flinty on the spicy, almost peppery and crunchy nose with its intense lemon, lime zest, herbal, radish, mustard and sweet fennel seed as well as floral notes. What lovey fruit concentration! Lush and generous on the palate, this is a beautifully intense and elegant, rich and persistently salty Riesling with a very long and linear finish. A great wine! 11.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 8 19 in June 2019. EVA FRICKE SCHLOSSBERG Spätlese I Rating 94P The 2018 Lorcher Schlossberg Riesling Spätlese is coolish, precise and flinty on the more reductive and lime-scented nose than its Klosterberg sibling. Lush yet crystalline and salty-piquant on the palate, this is a generous, enormously lush and super sexy Spätlese with succulent fruit that covers your palate. There are 90 grams of residual sugar, but there is nothing left but gorgeously ripe Riesling fruit from rocky slate. A fabulous Spätlese bottled with 8% alcohol. Tasted from AP 9 19. You can drink it now, but don't be sad if there is nothing left in 20+ years. EVA FRICKE KLOSTERBERG Riesling I Rating Auslese 94P From 100% healthy but late-picked grapes (3rd week of October) Fricke's 2018 Kiedricher Klosterberg Riesling Auslese is precise and piquant on the nose, wonderfully concentrated, with lemon, grapefruit and woodruff aromas as well as super ripe white-seed fruit aromas.

Photo Credit: Eva Fricke https://www.jamessuckling.com/wine-tasting-reports/rumors-true-rheingau-back/?mc_cid=065ca5ec32&mc_eid=2fe3133b20 1/98 4.8.2017 The Rumors Are True: The Rheingau is Back - JamesSuckling.com After scoring more than 50 Rheingau GGs from Germany’s 2015 vintage last fall, I suspected that winemakers were on to something to special. “This new vintage suggests that winemakers have seriously rethought and revamped grape growing and winemaking in the region,” I wrote. Well, last month I returned to the Rheingau to score nearly 400 wines from the 2015 and 2016 vintages and, indeed, the rumors are true. The Rheingau is finally back! But first, let’s revisit that brief history on where the Rheingau has been all these years. By far the most famous wine region on the river Rhine is the Rheingau. Its steepest slopes are rather stony, with slate type soils that retain little water, but most of the vineyards have relatively deep loamy soils that are fertile and water-retentive. This makes the wines bolder and broader than those of the Mosel. Its slopes have long been dominated by aristocratic estates, some of them complete with castles like that of Schloss Johannisberg and Schloss Vollards. And for two centuries from the 1776 vintage through to that of 1976, Rheingau wines were known for world premiere high-end riesling.

  • 2011 Rheingau Riesling Auslese Weingut Georg Breuer Region With
    Wine description 2011 Rheingau Riesling Auslese Weingut Georg Breuer Region With its some 3000 Hectars, Rheingau is one of the smallest winegrowing regions in Germany. Southfacing steep slopes are protected from the cold northerly winds by the Taunus Mountains, giving ideal ripening conditions. Vintage The 2011 vintage was defined by very unstable weather, which however towards the end allowed the grapes to develop perfect ripeness. After a short and cold winter, the April brought early summer-like temperatures with very little rain. Only in July and August could the rainfall deficiency be recovered. In the last weeks of the ripening process we enjoyed a golden October. Warm summer temperatures provided for a long harvest, which allowed all vineyards to be picked at the most ideal time. Grape variety The noblest grapevariety in Germany, also aknowledged as one of the greatest varieties in the world ripens late and gives wines which are clean, hace a crisp acidity, floral bouquet yet are powerful. Terroir Weathered slate with loess and loam give ideal ripening conditions for Riesling which thrives on the high mineral content of the soil. It is also heat absorbing which is important in its ripening process. Wine estate Implementing a strict quality philosophy Bernhard Breuer turned the family-owned winery with its 33 hectares into a leading estate in the Rheingau. Today, his daughter Theresa runs the estate, supported by cellar master Hermann Schmoranz. Wine Bright pale yellow, seductive aromas of apricot and honey. Sweet, balanced by refreshing acidity and a fruit character of orange zest and apricot. A lighter Auslese, with a lingering, seducing finish.
