Trockenbeerenauslese

A pradikat level in the German and Austrian classification system. This wine has been harvested late and dried, leaving miniscule yields and almost no wine in most vintages. This wine is extremely hard to make and exceedingly rare, with a price tag to match.

Germany’s Prädikat terms indicate minimum grape must weight at harvest, measured in degrees Oechsle, and are important pieces of label language rather than direct guarantees of sweetness.
