Ice wine (also spelled icewine or Eiswein, in German) is a dessert wine produced from grapes that were frozen while still on the vine. Only the water freezes in these grapes, so the small amount that is pressed from the grapes is highly concentrated and very sweet. Since the grapes are harvested while still frozen, unlike other dessert wines, the risk of Botrytis cinerea or noble rot greatly decreases. Today, Germany and Canada are the principal producers of ice wine.
