Delicate floral and creamy custard aromas lead to a sweet wine, syrupy in texture with white fruits, fresh lemon and apple flavours. To produce Eiswein, grapes were picked when the berries froze at below -70C. Climate change means that temperatures this low are less common in the Pfalz than they used to be. Grapes for this 2018 Eiswein were picked during the full moon in January 2019. The vineyard at Herxheim am Berg is on the slopes of the Haardt Mountains at 220 metres. 25% was matured in French oak barrels for eight months.
