I'm crushed. Obviously if it's an eiswein, all my protestations that non-coastal areas of western mainland Europe are viable climatic analogues for Sartar are completely dashed.

(It would be more accurate to say that the grapes have to freeze for it to be an icewine, not for the wine to be 'good', btw. I doubt that anything like the entire crop is utilised in that way, for various
reasons.)
