2012 Tschida Angerhof GrÌ_ner Veltliner Ice Wine Burgenland

"I‰۪m drinking this," one panelist said, defiantly flaunting our tastings protocol. She wasn‰۪t the only one. The scent alone is hypnotic, heady as the scent rising off a pot of simmering apricot jam. Then there are the swaths of silken, honeyed flavor wrapping around the tongue, spicy, almond-toned, with bright, lifting tangerine acidity. Those flavors linger, a single sip lasting for five minutes, wanting nothing but silence to take it all in. Eiswein doesn‰۪t come often to Hans Tschida‰۪s vineyards on the banks of Lake Neusiedl, so grab this now.
