Eiswein is made from grapes that were frozen on
the vine by an unexpected freeze.  The growers
bring the grape press into the vinyard and press
the grapes while they are still frozen.  If they
defrost before they are pressed, the wine will
not be as good. 

The late harvest wine is Berenauslese.  The very
very late harvest wine is Trockenberenauslese.
