Ice-Wine Sorbet with White PeachesMartyn Thompson

Ice wine, or eiswein, is traditionally made from grapes that are handpicked after being allowed to freeze. Less costly bottlings of the concentrated sweet wine are made from grapes frozen in freezers.

Cooks' note:

Sorbet can be made 1 day ahead, but texture is best the day it is made.
