Alfred Fischer and his wife have 25 hectares of vineyards in the Burgenland region of Austria, an area of the world which has become synonymous with the production of spectacular sweet wines.

Fischer's winery is extremely well equipped and, by utilising modern winemaking techniques, the family produce wines of exceptional quality and balance. But it is not only in the winery that great efforts are made to produce these remarkable sweet wines.

The Eiswein is made from Samling 88 grapes, often picked late in December in temperatures as low as minus 8 degrees. Fermentation is in stainless steel and stops naturally after around 5 weeks.

It is shining yellow-gold in colour with aromas and flavours reminiscent of mango, apricot and lemon. A backbone of acidity gives the wine great balance and amazing freshness. The Trockenbeerenauslese, made from Bouvier grapes, has a heady aroma of grapefruit, honey and almonds with fantastic balance on the palate and great length. The wines are bottled in 25cl clear glass. They are ideal with desserts and wonderful with blue cheeses and fruit.
