2025 Frogmore Creek 375mL Iced Riesling, Coal River Valley

Please note: this is a 375mL bottle

A nicely focused and unctuous sweet riesling. Flavours of candied citrus and tropical fruits, fresh and pressed wildflowers, grilled peaches with their syrup, soft spice, drizzled honey, rose petals, poached apricots and just a suggestion of Turkish delight in the distance. Drink to 2034.

Paying homage to the rare ice wines of Germany and Canada, Frogmore Creek's Iced Riesling takes a more technical approach to showing what their Riesling looks like when fully mature.

The grapes are pressed and settled in stainless steel, racked clear and stored at zero degrees. The juice is then frozen to separate the must from water and concentrated to 17.5 Baumé ahead of fermentation, which, vintage pending, is stopped when the residual sugars sit at around 200 to 220 g/L.
