Dr Loosen, Riesling Eiswein - 187ml Bottle

100% Riesling from selected frozen berries. 

The Dr Loosen Riesling Eiswein quarter bottles are the perfect little gift for those impossible to buy presents for.  Picked and pressed while the grapes are frozen, this vibrant, racy dessert wine conjures flavors of densely packed pear, apple and guava, with an intense, nervy edge in the aroma. It is luscious, silky and juicy on the palate, with bright acidity giving it a crisp, dynamic finish. Pairs well with Goose liver pate is also great with truffles (if that’s your thing), in terms of Cheeses, it’s paired well with sharp, rich cheeses (Gorgonzola, Roquefort).

These grapes are picked in the wee hours of the morning and pressed while they are still frozen, to slowly squeeze out a few drops of precious nectar, leaving the water behind as ice. The result is a vibrant, racy dessert wine that is strikingly different from the rounder, more honeyed style of the wines concentrated by botrytis This estate-grown Dr. Loosen Riesling Eiswein comes from special parcels in Erden and Ürzig that are held aside every year, hoping that it will freeze before the grapes fall victim to over ripeness.
