Once the grape harvest was beaten frost and winemakers thought they have nothing to lose, and tried to prepare wine from it. So was born the world’s first ice wine. Canadians, Germans, Austrians argue – who is the author. But Ancient Rome was the first. This is evidenced by the mention of Planiya Older that some grapes had not been cleaned up to the first frosts. Martial the poet sang of in his poems about hardened grapes. However, no one else did not mentioned exactly how you use this grape. Perhaps it was about wine that made from raisins. <\/p>\n
More details about eiswein contained in documents, 1830, according to which and there was ice wine in Dromersheim. The Germans were surprised by the behavior of animals and birds that ate frozen grapes and decided to try this effect for yourself. <\/p>\n
Niagara Icewine Festival the canadian leader in the production of ice wine is considered to be his mother. Around the world there are thousands of fans of this amazing drink. <\/p>\n
Another contender for authorship is a canadian winemaker who lived in Quebec at the beginning of last century. He was also surprised by the behavior of birds who have plucking frozen grapes. He made the wine and was extremely happy with the result. <\/p>\n
Mention of ice wine will flow in the history of the French, the Germans. Walter Heinl German immigrant, tasted frozen fruit in 1973, and later 10 years later in collaboration with wine Inniskillin, Hillebrand and Pelee Island, he began the manufacture of ice. <\/p>\n
The main rule when making ice wine is its natural freezing at a temperature of 7-8 degrees. If the grapes were frozen by artificial means \u2013 the wine cannot be called my homeland. <\/p>\n
In order to produce ice wine, special, can I say perfect conditions \u2013 hot and long summers, warm autumn and a sharp frost, which should ideally last for two weeks. Possible risk to remain without harvest birds and animals are very fond of this delicacy. To get a really good eiswein, it is important to harvest not earlier and not later. <\/p>\n

The technique of making ice wine is one of the most sophisticated in the world. The harvest of leaves under the pressing apparatus immediately after harvest the berries should be frozen. Ice in the extraction process remains, we get only the juice, which amounts to only 15-20 % of the total weight of the grapes. For example, to produce 350 grams of ice you need to use 15 kg of berries. The fermentation process takes many months. <\/p>\n
As a result, we get wine with alcohol content of 9-12 %. The color can be amber, pink or red. Most often it is amber colour, as commonly used white grape variety Riesling.<\/p>\n
German manufacturers use only the Riesling. In their opinion, it is this variety gives the perfect balance of acidity and sugar content. However, climate change creates a number of problems for the Germans. <\/p>\n
Canadians, on the contrary \u2013 love to experiment. They also use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The main demand for grapes is resistant to decay and fall.<\/p>\n
2002 Inniskillin Oak Aged Vidal Icewine is the best sweet wine in the world.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that Ontario is a leader in the production of eiswein 1991. It is here that produced the best and most expensive ice wine. <\/p>\n
The first SIP of this wine makes to plunge into the tale. Miraculously combines the aromas of raspberry, pineapple, litchi, papaya, roses. The taste is full of hops, citrus and hints of mango. When drinking this wine is not recommended snacks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
