Chateau Vartely Riesling Eiswein

This refined sweet white wine is produced entirely from carefully selected overripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes, hand-picked from vineyards in the village of Mircești, located in the Ungheni region of the Codru wine region. This area enjoys a protected geographical indication, which guarantees the exceptional quality of the wine. The wine has a fresh color and reveals in the glass delicate aromas of ripe pear and juicy melon. The taste is a harmonious balance of fruity and spicy notes, which go beautifully together.

The vineyards are located at an altitude of 320 metres, with a slope of 6 degrees and a south-east orientation, which ensures optimum ripening conditions. The wine is aged for two months in acacia barrels, which adds a subtle depth and complexity. This wine has now reached its ideal drinking moment, but can easily continue to age for at least ten years. Perfect to pair with desserts, cheeses and pastries, and is recommended to be served well chilled. The sugar content is 127 g/l, which gives it a rich and full sweetness.
