Yes, it's sorta how icewine is made. Using late season grapes, high in sugar, the grapes are pressed while frozen. "After grapes are picked for ice wine production, they are lightly pressed into the grape must under much higher pressure than grapes in the regular season. Since grapes are frozen when they come to the press, the ice (water) representing most of the mass is left behind in the press. Thus only a small amount of highly concentrated and sweet juice is extracted. Actually, only about 10-20% of the original crops end up as ice wine." Source Article.

Only had ice wine a couple times, what a waste. Tastes more like welches fruit juice than wine.
