About

Made with Riesling grapes, the translation of auslese is 'selected harvest', meaning specially selected bunches of ripe grapes. Generally, auslese grapes have the potential for more richness and intensity than other grapes. The grapes are picked from selected very ripe bunches in the autumn (late November-early December) and have to be hand-picked. Generally Auslese wine can be made in only the best harvest years that have been sufficiently warm and with Christwein only being from grapes harvested on Christmas Eve, these wines are both extremely rare and very highly regarded.

This is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or as a dessert wine, though it is likely to overwhelm any dessert in terms of its sheer finesse and drinking pleasure.
