Today we would like to tell you a little about our Gelber Muskateller Eiswein 2018.
First of all, what is an ice wine? The water crystals in the berries only freeze from around minus seven degrees, and only for hours. The grapes must be harvested and pressed in a frozen state. As a result, the water remains in the press as ice lumps and only the concentrated must runs off. Ice wines can be recognized by their elegant fruit piquancy and racy acidity, and the varietal characteristics are still present.
In short: a complex method of making wine. That’s why there are vintages without ice wine, because the weather or the grape quality unfortunately don’t always play along. Fortunately, 2018 and 2019 were not such years and we were able to produce a wonderful ice wine from the Gelber Muskateller grape. Our Gelber Muskateller Eiswein 2018 is typical in its characteristics. It is fresh, relatively dry with a cool note. The taste is reminiscent of a lot of elderberry, a little orange zest and a lot of nutmeg spice, a very typical varietal aroma for this great wine. If you are wondering where the Gelber Muskateller Eiswein goes with it, we have the perfect recommendations for you: “This wine goes perfectly with fruit desserts such as a lemon sorbet or apricot cake, but also as a single dessert if you want to save yourself the pastry 😉.”
