Synopsis
In the last decade, icewine has become a phenomenon among wine lovers. In the first comprehensive volume exploring this delicious dessert wine, John Schreiner reveals its fascinating history and tells the stories of the eccentric risktakers who have made it a favorite indulgence worldwide. Like many good things, icewine had accidental beginnings -- an early frost caught grapes still on the vine. The desperate winemaker pressed the grapes anyway, and voila -- a rich, sweet dessert wine was discovered. At first, icewine was only made in Germany and Austria on those rare occasions when climate conditions permitted. Few winemakers dared to risk leaving grapes on the vine beyond the regular harvest. The necessary frost sometimes never came, the grapes were vulnerable to strong winds, and hungry birds and wild boar could devour entire crops in hours. But inventive and persistent winemakers found ways to protect the grapes. Industry standards were established to ensure a high-quality product. With the growth of the wine industry in North America in the 1970s and '80s, icewine became a natural for the vineyards of the northern United States and Canada, where winters produce the necessary deep freeze every year. And creative marketing made wine drinkers aware of this exciting new wine. Today icewine rivals Sauternes as the dessert wine of choice. Anyone with an interest in wine will delight in this absorbing tour through the world of icewine, and will find it an invaluable reference for purchasing, collecting and enjoying icewine. With his extensive knowledge of the current wine scene. John Schreiner is in an ideal position to write this the first authoritative guide to icewine. Book jacket., In the last decade, icewine has become a phenomenon among wine lovers. Like many good things, it had accidental beginnings -- an early frost caught grapes still on the vine. The desperate wine maker pressed the grapes anyway and voila -- a rich, sweet dessert wine was discovered. For a long time, icewine, or Eiswein, was only made in Germany and Austria on those rare occasions -- maybe once in a decade -- when climate conditions permitted. With the growth of the wine industry in North America in the 1970s and 80s, icewine became a natural for the vineyards of the northern U.S. and Canada, where it can be produced every year. Today, with high quality standards and strong marketing campaigns, icewine has become a prized addition to the gourmet dinner table Icewine now rivals the great dessert wines of Sauternes, and it is starting to be produced in unexpected regions such as California and New Zealand, using freezers rather than winter. With all these new producers and growing interest in it, the market is ripe for an informative book about icewine. With his extensive knowledge of the current wine scene, John Schreiner is in an ideal position to write this, the first authoritative guide to icewine. Schreiner writes on wine for several publications and is the author of The World of Canadian Wine.
