Trockenbeerenauslese
Trockenbeerenauslese is a type of sweet dessert wine from Germany, made from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). This process concentrates the sugars in the grapes, resulting in a rich, flavorful wine. The grapes are handpicked, ensuring only the best are selected for fermentation.
The name translates to "dry berry selection," indicating that only the shriveled, overripe berries are used. Trockenbeerenauslese wines are typically enjoyed with desserts or as a stand-alone treat, showcasing complex flavors of honey, apricot, and spices. They are often produced from varieties like Riesling or Gewürztraminer.
