Glossary entries

A Prädikat, or special attribute, that describes the ripeness level of the grapes and type of harvest. In this case: a rich wine made from fully ripened bunches selectively harvested (unripe or diseased berries are discarded). Beeren- and Trockenbeerenauslese are increasingly concentrated versions of Auslese, made from overripe and/or botrytized grapes, selectively harvested by hand, berry by berry.
