Beisiegel Traisener Nonnengarten Riesling Ice Wine

An ice wine that literally emerged from an exceptional situation: on December 12, 2019, the grapes were harvested at −11 °C — this is how Germany's most concentrated, rarest sweet wines are created.

Weingut Beisiegel cultivates the Traisener Nonnengarten on the Nahe, a region known for its steep Riesling vineyards on porphyry rock. This mineral subsoil gives even the Luscious wines a precise structure that prevents them from being heavy.

The extreme concentration of the harvest is evident in the glass: aromas of passion fruit, candied mango, and dried apricot, underpinned by a clear citrus pull that keeps the sweetness in balance. The finish is long, mineral, and characterized by a lively acidity — no sugar without tension.

• Temperature: 8–10 °C
• Pairs with: Foie gras Pâté, Roquefort, Tarte Tatin, or on its own as a dessert in a glass
