Produced from grapes harvested while naturally frozen, this half-bottle captures the remarkable balance between luscious sweetness, vibrant acidity and the mineral character of the Abtsberg vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright golden in colour, this mature Eiswein offers an expressive nose of ripe orchard fruit, candied citrus, honey and subtle mineral tones. The palate is rich, creamy and concentrated, with flavours of preserved peach, honeyed fruit and a gently warming sweetness supported by refreshing acidity. Its finish is long, intense and finely balanced, with the freshness needed to keep the wine poised rather than heavy. Properly stored, this wine has excellent ageing potential and can continue to develop complex honeyed and dried-fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes for this Riesling Eiswein were harvested during an especially cold night, when they had frozen naturally on the vine. Freezing concentrates the water within the berries, allowing the grapes to be gently pressed into a small quantity of intensely flavoured must. The Abtsberg vineyard, known for its steep slopes and mineral-rich slate soils, contributes both depth and a distinctive mineral freshness to the wine. The 0.375-litre format is especially well suited to this concentrated style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. This Eiswein is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, apple or pear tart, crème brûlée and delicate pastries, while its acidity also makes it an elegant match for blue cheese or foie gras. It can be enjoyed without decanting; opening the bottle shortly before serving is sufficient, although a brief time in the glass will allow its aromas to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaximin Grünhaus, also known as the von Schubert estate, is one of the historic names of the Mosel wine region.
