Beerenauslese

Designation for wines made from fully ripe and partly (but not necessarily) botrytised grapes that are specially selected (picked) during the grape harvest. Not only are individual grapes selected, but even individual berries are painstakingly selected by hand. There are different wine law regulations in the individual countries that allow a wine to be labelled Beerenauslese. The criteria are usually a minimum quantity of must weight and the condition of the grapes. In Germany and Austria (see there for specific conditions), Beerenauslese is a special type of wine within the quality wine category of Prädikat wines. Such wines are usually vinified sweet.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
