ice wine

A rich, flavorful dessert wine, which is made by picking grapes that are frozen on the vine, then pressing them before they thaw. Because much of the water in the grapes is frozen, the resulting juice is concentrated — rich in flavor and high in sugar and acid. Ice wines are renowned in Germany, where they’re called Eiswein (pronounced ice-vine).
