Thanks for looking. Eiswein is made in Germany and Austria and is
glorious. It is expensive because yields are low and because there is
the risk that the grapes will rot before the frosts arrive.
The "noble rot" found in Sauternes has nothing to do with frost, but
results in similarly glorious wine.
Cheers :-)
