Eiswein Zweigelt 2018

The grapes for Zweigelt Icewine grows on our most northern site called Hiesberg in about 400m above sealevel. In total we were 18 people who harvested on 29th of November 2018 the frozen grapes at minus 8°Celsius (-17,6°Fahrenheit). After a slowly spontaneous fermentation the wine was racked in small used oak barrels to ripen until January 2020. Then the Icewine was bottled unfiltered and with a little addition of Sulphur to avoid a second fermentation in the bottle. The Zweigelt Icewine 2018 is a sweet but spicy and mineral dessert wine with a nice rosé colour. It is a good companion to chocolate desserts as well as to mold and blue cheese.
