Homonym: Auslese (Selection)
Auslese is a German term that translates to "select harvest." It refers to a specific category of German wine made from grapes that have been carefully selected for their ripeness and quality. These grapes are typically affected by noble rot, which concentrates their sugars and flavors, resulting in a rich and sweet wine.
Auslese wines are often enjoyed as dessert wines due to their sweetness and complexity. They can pair well with a variety of foods, including cheese and fruit-based desserts. The wines are usually labeled with the Prädikatswein classification, indicating their quality level within the German wine classification system.
