Product Description
In the last decade, icewine has become a phenomenonamong wime lovers. Like many good things, it had accidental beginnings, an early frost caught grapes still on the vine. The desparate wine maker pressed the grapes anyway, and voila, a rich dessert wine was discovered.For a long time icewine, or Eiswein, was only made in Germany and Austria on those rare temperate occasions, maybe once a decade. Now however, with the introduction of grape varieties to cooler climates and the development of new wineries all over the world, icewine is being produced every year to great acclaim from wine enthusiasts.This book features an in-depth exploration into all the offerings of this rather newly developed and deliciously sweet varietal.
