The ultimate aim with Ice Wine, is to produce a wine with all the power and sweetness of a Beerenauslese or a Trockenbeerenauslese, but without the influence of botrytis (though occasionally, some botrytis can occur). The 'Liliac & Kracher' Ice Wine is a joint venture between Rudolf Krizan, the winemaker at Liliac in Romania and Gerhard Kracher from the well-known francen Kracher wine family, who have been making sweet wines for generations. Most interestingly, this Ice Wine is made from grapes that were grown in Transylvania, in Romania, in order to find the coldest climate in a warming planet to make this style of wine. The final result is a superb Ice Wine that shows an immense concentration of sweetness and complexity along with a good acid structure. This sweet wine displays delicate notes of white stone fruit, lychee and pineapple, along with a hint of honey on the finish.
