Franz Krämer ‘Zeltinger Himmelreich’ Eiswein 500ml

There are few wines on the planet as unlikely as ice wine.

• Leaving edible fruit outside way beyond when it should have been harvested and waiting for the temperature to drop to 19 degrees or colder before it rots is as dicey as it sounds.
• (For real ice wine to be made, grapes have to freeze on the vine.)
• Normally an acre of grapes can produce around five-thousand bottles of wine.
• But if you’re trying to make ice wine, plan on getting between 150 and 300 bottles off your frozen acre.
• Oh, and plan on calling in your whole squad to harvest them, since they need to be picked and pressed before they thaw.

It only seems insane until you taste it.
