Details

Huxel Beerenauslese. Literally, Beerenauslese means: “Berry (grape) selection”. Because the bunches of grapes have been given the opportunity to hang on the vine for a long time, many grapes will be overripe. While at Auslese the unripe grapes are removed from the grape bunches, for the Beerenauslese the most ripe grapes are removed from the bunches to be able to ferment separately to make this special quality wine. Sometimes - in one year a little more than the other - there can also be grapes affected with noble rot. In addition to a naturally high sugar content, the concentrate of minerals and flavors in the grapes, and thus the wine, is also very high. Beerenauslese is a wine that can age for a very long time.
