Sweet Wine: A unique experience for true wine connoisseurs!
Noble sweet Saar wines have enjoyed a legendary reputation in the wine world for centuries. From opulent exotic Spätlese and Auslese to rich Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese, all the way to the legendary Eiswein, these wines possess unique aging potential.
Basically, there are five types of noble sweet Saar wines: Noble sweet Spätlese are ideally made from fully ripe, golden-yellow grapes, whose precise exotic fruit aromas can also be found in the later wine. Auslese, on the other hand, are made from overripe and rotten grapes that have been affected by a noble rot fungus called "Botrytis Cinerea". The noble rot attacks the grapes in foggy autumn weather and perforates the grape skins, allowing water to evaporate and the aromas to concentrate. As a result, these wines have a rich aroma and silky texture. Beerenauslese, on the other hand, are made from individual, already shrivelled, rotten grapes. These wines have an oily texture and are particularly aromatic. The crowning glory of noble sweet wines made from Botrytis grapes are Trockenbeerenauslese, selections from completely dried grapes. These are painstakingly hand-selected from the other grapes and then laboriously pressed for hours to extract a few drops of their golden-yellow juice from the raisins. These wines have both a very high sweetness and a very high concentration and acidity, and due to these properties can easily outlast a human lifetime. A very special rarity are Eiswein, which can only rarely be produced in Germany due to climate change. Ideally, ripe and completely healthy grapes are harvested and pressed when frozen at a minimum of -7°C. The resulting wine captivates with its brilliantly fruity aroma and refreshing acidity.

achieve their sweetness in different ways. One of the sweetest wines is ice wine, which is made from grapes that have frozen on the vine. This icy harvest leads to a high concentration of sugar and aromas, giving the wine an outstanding sweetness. Selected dry berries (TBA) are also known for their exceptional sweetness. Here, only individual berries affected by noble rot are used, leading to an intense concentration of sugar and aromas. Port wine, a fortified wine from the Portuguese Douro region, also offers a sweet option. Here, the fermentation process is stopped by adding brandy, resulting in a higher residual sugar content. Lovers of very sweet wines should also take a look at the noble sweet Rieslings from the Saar or Sauternes from Bordeaux. These wines are characterized by their intense sweetness and complex aromas. Overall, very sweet wines offer a wide range of taste experiences and are particularly well-suited as a crowning finale to a delicious dinner or as an accompaniment to sweet desserts.
