ICE WINE
Ice wines
rank among a speciality of local wine growers.
They come
from grapes harvested early in the morning after going through the
minimum
frost of –6°C, and they are processed still frozen.
This enables the water to
remain inside and only cider
of a high
sugar content flows out in the course of wringing.
The whole
process is very risky and the yields are low. This makes it a very rare
delicacy – a sort of honey-sweet wine, immensely aromatic,
with a low alcohol
content.
It tastes
wonderful as aperitif, digestant or with desserts.
It is
served chilled to 7-10°C.
