WINE DESCRIPTION
Schmitt Söhne Eiswein is a highly sought-after dessert wine produced by the renowned German winery, Schmitt Söhne. This wine is made from grapes that are harvested in the winter when they are frozen on the vine, resulting in a concentrated and intensely sweet flavor profile. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in the Rheinhessen region. The winemaking process involves pressing the frozen grapes to extract a small amount of concentrated juice, which is then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate flavors. The resulting wine is a luscious and complex dessert wine with notes of honey, apricot, and tropical fruit, making it a perfect accompaniment to rich desserts or enjoyed on its own as a decadent treat.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Schmitt Söhne Eiswein is an intensely sweet, highly concentrated dessert wine.Its nose is bursting with aromas of ripe apricots and honeyed apples, while its palate has a rich, syrupy mouthfeel with flavors of candied citrus and tropical fruits. It is a balanced, lush and velvety, yet refreshingly acidic wine that lingers on the palate. Enjoy this sweet nectar with fresh fruits, creamy desserts or as an after-dinner indulgence.

ORIGINS
Winery: Schmitt Söhne
Region: Rheinhessen
Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region, located in the Rhine River Valley in the western part of the country. It is known for its diverse range of wines, from dry whites to sweet dessert wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman Empire.
Rheinhessen has been producing wine since the Roman Empire, when it was known as the province of Germania Superior. The region was an important center of winemaking during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the first German wine laws were established. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it was revived in the 20th century with the introduction of new grape varieties and modern winemaking techniques. Today, Rheinhessen is one of the most dynamic wine regions in the world, with many winemakers adopting innovative approach to winemaking.CUSTOMER RATING
