After 6 years of scarcity and many lost grapes, Bruno Landauer finally returns with a new Ice Wine (Eiswein). Indeed the last one dated from 2012. Originally, the grapes (50% Furmint and 50% Weissburgunder) from two distinct vineyards, were intended for the production of a sweet Beerenauslese type and had to be harvested three or four days later. But a good unexpected frost on the evening of November 28, 2018 made him change his mind and allowed him to make this Eiswein...
Here is a micro-cuvée of around 680 liters, made at 5am. The harvest began at -7°C , the minimum base for a product of this type. At 12 p.m., everything was finished and the grapes began their very slow pressing cycle. The color is light, a guarantee of good health of the grapes. On the nose, it is finesse and elegance, more than great power, which dominates. the palate confirms the olfactory impression with lots of balance and aromas of ginger , green apple , quince , anise , fresh citrus fruits , cocoa bean , white flowers and sweet spices . It is a sweet wine combining finesse and length which demonstrates the greatness of ice wines.
Residual sugars: 145 g/L
