  • 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.

  • Bernkasteler Kurfürstlay Riesling Spätlese 2011 Region: Mosel, Germany
    Bernkasteler Kurfürstlay Riesling Spätlese 2011 Region: Mosel, Germany Varietal: 100% Riesling Vineyard: This wine comes from the renowned vineyards of “Bernkasteler Kurfürstlay” in the middle Mo- sel Valley. In German, Kurfürstlay can be bro- ken down to kur (chosen), furst (Prince) and lay (slate) meaning that the vineyard site was the choice of a Prince’s. 2011 Vintage: We had an exceptional warm spring which was the reason for the earliest budding and grape bloom since notations of these dates! The con- sequence was a margin of vegetation of about 3 weeks. The summer was marked by rainy and constantly changing weather. Terrible hail on August 26th was again a reason for scepti- sicm and let us assume the worst. After all the great damage in the villages, the damage in the vineyards was comparatively low. After that, we had a beautiful late summer. At the end and apart from the hail, everything was perfect: an early budding and bloom and rain always at the right time! So we started harvest at the end of September. We had 4 weeks without any rain and this gave us some time to preharvest all of our Riesling vineyards and sort out the raisins from the bunches and the good from the best grapes. This was very time consuming in the 70% steep sloped parcels. Now the harvest is history and we have all quality levels, from Kabinett up to Trockenbeerenauslese. The wines were bottled at the beginning of May and show great promise. Flavor: Late harvested and hand-picked. Elegant and luscious wine with lively acidity, rich body and a lot of fruit.

  • Riesling Kabinett Trocken
    RHEINGAU VDP.GUTSWEIN RIESLING KABINETT TROCKEN Weingut Robert Weil, founded 1875, is run today by Wilhelm Weil, the fourth generation of the founding family. The founder of the estate, Dr. Robert Weil, purchased his first vineyards on the Kiedricher Berg in 1867, at a time when he was still a German professor at the Sorbonne in Paris. With the approach of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, he was forced to leave France. He settled in Wiesbaden, where he worked as a journalist, and Kiedrich, where he expanded his vineyard holdings by acquiring the best sites on the Kiedricher Berg. Thanks to his unwavering commitment to quality-oriented viticulture, his foresight, and his willingness to invest in the estate, it developed quickly and its wines were soon celebrated in international circles. Spätlese and Auslese wines from Weingut Robert Weil graced the table of many European imperial and royal houses as the white counterparts of the Bordeaux reds. Today, the estate’s 90 ha (222 acres) of vineyards are planted 100% with Riesling. Throughout its history the estate has always focused on the Riesling grape and adhered to strict, quality-ori- ented practices in the vineyard – such as stringent pruning to control yields and selective harvesting by hand – and in the cellar, where the wines are vinified as gently as possible. This unwavering and uncompromising quality management is central to Weingut Robert Weil’s unbroken streak of producing wines at every Prädikat classification, up to and including Trockenbeerenauslese, for every vintage since 1989. The estate’s dedication to Riesling since 1875 has led numerous observers of the international wine world to regard Weingut Robert Weil, with its “château character”, as a worldwide symbol of German Riesling culture.

  • Franconia the Growing Region: Zehnthof Luckert Winery
    Franconia The growing region: Wine has been grown on the hills and matured in the cellars of Franconia for over 1200 years. Formerly almost exclusively the province of monasteries, today many secular vintners continue the tradition with care and attention. Franconian vines flourish on 6300 hectares. 85 percent of the wine grown here is white, especially Silvaner, Müller-Thurgau und Bacchus varieties. But the reds are also a treat - sometimes silky, sometimes fruity, sometimes remarkably fiery. Zehnthof Luckert winery Built in 1558, for four centuries Zehnthof in Sulzfeld am Main was a prince-bishopric property until Theo Luckert purchased it in 1970 and turned it into a wine business. It remained for his sons Ulrich and Wolfgang to build it into a winery whose fame extends far beyond the borders of its Franconian home. Its 17 hectares of vineyard stretching across the premium Franconian locations of Maustal and Cyriakusberg are planted mostly in Silvaner and Müller-Thurgau. All of the slopes are naturally green and since 2007 the Luckert family has been cultivating certain parcels fully organically. After careful picking by hand, the grapes are gently pressed and the must is matured in 2400 l barrels under the ancient arches of the cellar. In 2009 leading German wine guide Eichelmann gave Zehnthof the highest rating, with 5 stars and “world class.” This judgement has remained unchanged since. Recommended wines: 2015 Silvaner Muschelkalk dry 0.2 l/0.75 l 10.00/34.00 2015 Pinot Blanc 0.2 l/0.75 l 10.50/36.00 Characteristic local dishes: Nuremberg chopped bread 14.50 Nuremberg sausage-style beef tartare on toasted rustic bread with mustard crème and summer herbs Fried salmon trout with potato crust 26.50 Silvaner butter und pea lettuce vegetables Franconian vintner-style flank steak 32.50 with onion crème, caramelized onions, romaine lettuce hearts and smoked peeled potatoes .
