Ice Wine Harvest | Brotherhood.mp4

The Winemaster, in deciding when to harvest the Riesling grapes, can make a late-harvest wine -- that is, if the weather cooperates and allows the grapes to stay on the vine until late into the growing season, late November or December. And once in a while, as happened in 2009, the Riesling grapes are able to stay on the vine late into the season, concentrating their flavors and sugar content until their water content freezes with the first frost and then the inner concentration is squeezed out to make a coveted "Eiswein", rich in sugar and aromas: the nectar of the Gods.
