Beerenauslese is a German term that translates to "select berries." It refers to a type of sweet dessert wine made from individually selected, overripe grapes that have been affected by noble rot or Botrytis cinerea. This process concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes, resulting in a rich and luscious wine. Typically produced in regions like Mosel and Rheingau, Beerenauslese wines are known for their intense sweetness and complex aromas, often featuring notes of honey, apricot, and citrus. They are usually enjoyed in small quantities due to their richness and pair well with desserts or strong cheeses.
