The difference between noble wine and iced wine

1, noble wine and ice wine are two different wines, but usually both are sweet wines.

3, expensive, rotten, sweet, white, generally sweet, sour and refreshing; It has a strong dried flower and fruit flavor, almond flavor and bitter orange flavor, and a long and lasting aftertaste. Ice wine has outstanding style, smooth taste, sweet and mellow taste, and often has the aroma of ripe pears, peaches, mangoes, almonds and flowers. Due to the differences in origin, grape varieties and brewing technology, the flavor is slightly different.

Noble wine:

Noble wine is a very precious sweet wine from Hungary. It is made of a kind of mould called Pythium guiense attached to grape skin, hence the name "noble wine". The top three famous wines in the world are Tocai, Tocai, rheingau and Su Dai in Bordeaux.

Iced wine:

Ice wine is a sweet wine. Wine made from grapes naturally frozen at low temperature.

According to the definition of the national standard "Ice Wine" (GB/T 25504-20 10), ice wine refers to the wine made by delaying the grape harvest, keeping the grapes on the branches for a certain period of time when the temperature is below -7℃ under natural conditions, freezing, harvesting, squeezing and fermenting in the frozen state (adding is not allowed in the production process).

The history of ice wine and noble wine;

1, ice wine

Ice wine has a long history. Since it was discovered unintentionally in Europe 200 years ago, the brewing of ice wine began to spread.

At that time, the vineyards in Germany suffered sudden freezing damage. In order to recover the loss, the winemaker squeezed the frozen grapes and fermented the wine according to the traditional method. To his surprise, he found that the result was a wine with a balanced proportion of sweet and sour, as sweet as honey, and named it iced wine. The brewing technology of ice wine was brought to Canada by German immigrants. After further improvement by local people, the brewed wine is more unique and mellow.

2. Noble wine

Hungary

1650, Turkish troops invaded Hungary. When the Turkish army approached Tokay, it was the grape harvest season. In order to avoid looting by the Turkish army, a reformist Christian priest in Donghai called on farmers to postpone picking.

People didn't start harvesting until1early October 165438+. Due to shrinkage, the grapes have dried up at this time, the epidermis has become thin and wrinkled, and a layer of mold has appeared.

People have no choice but to use it to make wine. But what I didn't expect was that the wine brewed this year was much more mellow than the wine brewed by grapes picked in normal seasons. The unexpected postponement of picking has unexpectedly brought a new fate to noble wine, who is entrusted with talent, and has been brilliant ever since.

Tuocai Noble Wine is called "Imperial Wine" because of its incomparable quality in other countries. Even the French upper class will reserve Hungarian Tokai noble wine and call it the king of wine.

Germany

Noble wine has a history of more than 200 years in Germany. According to records, it originated from Johansson Castle on the Rhine, which was owned by the church at that time.

1775, when the grapes were ripe, the bishop went out for a meeting, and the monk sent someone to ask the bishop when to pick the grapes. Unexpectedly, the person who sent them was ill on the way, so it delayed the time to report back. By the time he came back, the grapes had turned into dried fruits (stained with botrytis cinerea), and the monks tasted the sweetness and delicacy of the fruits, so they picked them and made them into world-famous noble wines.

France

The production of sweet wine in Sudna Sutens is said to have originated from 1830. The owner of LaTour Blanche winery brought back the technology of brewing noble wine learned from Germany to Bordeaux.
