eiswein - An original German dessert wine, made from overripe grapes that have frozen solid on the vine in the early winter. They are harvested quickly and pressed while still frozen, so that only concentrated grape juice is extracted. Most of the water stays in the press as ice, so the resulting wine is very concentrated, but with vibrant, racy acidity.
