Gruber Riesling Eiswein 2021

Reviewed on December 9, 2022

I love the purity of ice wine but more often than not, it can be a little pricey which often puts it in the “special occasion wine category”. The Gruber Riesling Eiswein (aka Icewine) is from the village of Roschitz in the Weinviertel region in Austria. At around $40, it is an excellent value when you think of the lengths a winemaker must go to in order to make a bottle. Riesling is my favourite grape for this style of wine due to its lazer-like acidity. The sweet juice and the vibrant acidity weave together to create a beautifully balanced dessert style wine. Serve it chilled in either a white wine or port style glass. It makes a wonderful gift!
