Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese
(Outstanding)
A light white wine from
Germany
Summary
Hand harvested and thoroughly sorted botrytis-affected fruit undergoes a crushed fruit fermentation, usually in neutral vessels at mid-range white fermentation temperature, to ensure successful fermentation in the high sugar must. Fermentation will cease while these wines still have high levels of residual sugar. Malolactic conversion is avoided. Maturation usually occurs in neutral vessels and subsequent bottle ageing is common.
