Those packaged in half-bottles (AP 24 84) were distributed in Europe. The full-bottles (AP 44 84) were sold in the United States and had higher residual sugar than the other. The harvest was accomplished by several daily tries in the Steigerwalt vineyard named; I assume that the harvest sugars of various lots differed by temperature. Records were consulted and remembrances of the then vineyard workers too. Info: Carola Kemmer at the estate office. This was the largest known Eiswein harvest at this estate--1800 liters! You may want to move the tasting notes as appropriate-there are two monographs. John Trombley AKA Sweetstuff
