Although they will lack true noble rot from botrytis, you can buy ice wine kits. They are usually half size because the juice is so thick and syrupy ending in a sweet dessert wine. A few guys here made them last year. Search for Ice wine or Icewine and set the date select to all times(or whatever it says like that).


Here is a page of Winexpert kits- with a couple on it. Both are very good but the Riesling is probably more what you are thinking of.

I made the Island Mist riesling ice wine kit and it was way too sweet for me and my wife who likes sweet wine, I ended up mixing it with gewurztraminer to dull the sweetness. It sure didn't compare to riesling icewine I had purchased.
