Ernst Triebaumer Eiswein 2023, 0,38 L

Eiswein must be harvested and pressed at a temperature of at least –7°C, and with winters becoming increasingly milder, producing this rare sweet wine is growing ever more difficult.

In 2023, nature played along: in Rust, near Lake Neusiedl, the frost came in time. Welschriesling and Grüner Veltliner grapes were hand-picked in the icy cold — a fleeting moment of winter captured in every bottle. And the chill of that morning now warms the heart with every sip.

Bright, lively, and vibrant, this Eiswein is animated by a well-balanced acidity that lifts the natural sweetness beautifully. Aromas of ripe peach and passion fruit meet a gentle hint of cinnamon. On the palate, there's a touch of light chocolate and a creamy texture that lingers for what feels like forever, finishing with a smile.

A wine to pause with. One to sip slowly, savour with reverence, or pair with your favourite dessert. A rare treat, both delicate and deeply moving.
