The Königheimer Kirschberg Schwarzriesling Weißherbst Eiswein 1998 is an exceptional wine from the Baden region, combining the rare combination of Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier) and sophisticated ice wine production in a fascinating way. The Königheimer Kirschberg site is known for its sun-drenched vineyards and fertile shell limestone soil, which lends the wines elegance and a distinctive minerality.

The 1998 vintage, with its late, frost-induced harvest, provided ideal conditions for producing an ice wine characterized by concentrated fruit, fresh acidity, and exceptional sweetness. The grapes were harvested at temperatures of at least -7°C, resulting in a natural concentration of aromas.

In the glass, the wine presents a bright salmon hue with golden reflections, indicating the ripe concentration and distinctive character of this Weißherbst wine. The nose is seductive and complex, with intense aromas of red berries such as strawberries, raspberries, and wild cherries, accompanied by notes of honey, candied citrus fruits, and a hint of blossom. Subtle mineral notes and a light herbal spice add further complexity to the bouquet.
