Eiswein, made in December or January. The grapes are harvested after a night with temperatures lower than - -13 degrees Celsius (I think). The water in the grapes has then frozen and can be filtered away, leaving a very concentrated grape juice, which is both sweet and with a high acidlevel (as opposed to the juice from botryticized grapes which has a low acid level).
Eiswein is made mainly in Germany and Austria. The only one I have tried was excellent.
