Absolutely correct.

>I thought Eiswein was made from late season grapes and not a special grape. But yes, starting with a more sugary juice would have an effect after being boiled down. But I've wanted to try Eiswein after the comments about it here and stayed away from buying a bottle because of the cost. To pay those prices and then boil it down... Ouch!

Eiswein is made from frozen grapes.  It can be made from any one of 
several grape varieties and either normal harvest (auslese) or late 
harvest (spätlese).

I'm also not sure what the original poster was trying to say about Shiraz...
