The natural spectacle eiswein

Pillitteri Estates Winery prides itself on producing one of nature’s most exquisite gifts – ice wine. The harvest of the Icewine grapes takes place when the temperatures have reached -8 degrees Celsius or colder. The hand-picked, naturally frozen grapes produce a juice with an intense concentration of sugar, acids, flavors and aromas when pressed. However, the yield is much lower than most wines, ten times more grapes are needed per bottle. The resulting wine has a high natural sugar content, a low alcohol content, an amazing acidity and is intensely sweet and tasty. Pillitteri Icewine is a unique taste experience with aromas that can range from honey-sweet peach and apricot to tropical fruits such as mangoes.
