We are usually only lucky enough to get  one Eiswein from Rudolf Geil, but this year we have two! Using the more traditional Riesling to craft this Eiswein, Rudolf Geil bit his nails until the conditions were perfect before dawn on December 20th. Braving 12 degree temperatures the winery picked their small plot of grapes and brought them into the winery to be immediately pressed before thawing. It took 3 hours before the first drops ran from the press, but Rudolf knew he had found liquid gold.

A wine for all the ages, this Geil has it all, combining depth, passionate fruit and wonderful acidity to exemplify everything a wine this special should contain. Using his special gold label he only reserves for his best and most rare wines. Rudolf Geil has crafted another great wine that should not be missed. CHEERS!
