Rare Wines

These three rare wines are the highest rated wines on the German quality wine-level. The Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, and Eiswein are all very late harvests. If the weather in a particular year does not cooperate and allow the vintner to keep the grapes on the vine, that means no "Nectar Of The Gods" that year. The rarest of them, the Eiswein, has been harvested on Christmas Eve, Then named "Christ Wine". At the moment, we are lucky to have all three of these gems available.

BEERENAUSLESE BA (Berries Select Picking)... Harvest of individually selected, overripe berries. Remarkably rich, sweet dessert wines to be enjoyed as dessert by themselves or with dessert.

TROCKENBEERENAUSLESE TBA (Dry Berries Select Picking)... Harvest of individually selected berries which are overripe and shriveled on the vine almost to raisins. Rich, sweet, luscious, honey-like wines.

EISWEIN (Ice-Wine)... Wines of at least BA intensity, made from grapes harvested and pressed while frozen. Truly unique wines with a remarkable concentration of fruity acidity and sweetness.

Note on dessert wines: Dessert wines or noble sweet wines, can be in the Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese or Eiswein category. Good examples distinguish themselves by high concentration of fruit and acidity in combination with rich mouthfeel and intense fruit .
