{"title":"Beerenauslese","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Beerenauslese? The Prädikat between Auslese and TBA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeerenauslese, usually shortened to BA, is one of the highest Prädikat levels in German and Austrian wine law. The name means \"selected berries\", and it is literal: pickers select overripe berries, usually affected by noble rot, often one by one by hand. The result is a naturally sweet wine with honey, dried fruit, candied citrus peel and a bright acidity that can keep it lively for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe requirement is measured in must weight. In \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/germany\"\u003eGermany\u003c\/a\u003e the grapes must reach at least 110 to 128 degrees Oechsle depending on region and variety, and in Austria 25 degrees KMW, roughly 127 degrees Oechsle. Adding sugar is not allowed, so all the sweetness comes from the grape itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeerenauslese compared with Auslese and Trockenbeerenauslese\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne step below sits \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/auslese\"\u003eAuslese\u003c\/a\u003e, made from fully ripe grapes. Noble rot may play a part but does not dominate, and Auslese also comes in a dry style. Beerenauslese, by contrast, is almost always sweet and marked by botrytis. Above it stands only Trockenbeerenauslese, which needs at least 150 degrees Oechsle and is pressed from berries shrivelled to raisins. Good producers often go well beyond the minimums, so a strong BA can come closer to a TBA than the label suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNoble rot: how a Beerenauslese is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the right conditions the fungus Botrytis cinerea pierces the skin of the berry. Damp, misty autumn mornings followed by dry, warm afternoons let water evaporate, sugar and acidity concentrate, and aromas appear that healthy grapes never develop. Because the rot spreads unevenly, pickers pass through the same vineyard several times. Yields are tiny, fermentation is slow because of the high sugar, and alcohol usually stays moderate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finest Beerenauslese come from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/riesling\"\u003eRiesling\u003c\/a\u003e, whose acidity gives the sweetness tension. You will also find Spätburgunder from Kloster Eberbach's Assmannshäuser Höllenberg, both red and as Weißherbst, Grauburgunder from Kupper and Austrian Beerenauslese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBeerenauslese from the Mosel, Rheingau, Nahe and Burgenland\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Mosel and Saar, Joh. Jos. Prüm, Willi Schaefer, Max Ferd. Richter, Markus Molitor, Dr. Loosen, Maximin Grünhaus, Van Volxem and Egon Müller Scharzhof stand for a weightless, filigree style. The Rheingau brings more body and spice, with Schloss Johannisberg, Schloss Reinhartshausen, Kloster Eberbach (Steinberger), Robert Weil, Peter Jakob Kühn, Schloss Schönborn and Langwerth von Simmern. From the Nahe comes Dönnhoff, and from the Pfalz Bassermann-Jordan and Reichsrat von Buhl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Austria there is Beerenauslese from Velich in the Seewinkel by Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland, where the moisture from the lake encourages noble rot, and from Steininger and Höllerer in the Kamptal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOld vintages and old labels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the bottles are historic vintages from the Rheingau, Mosel and Rheinhessen, the oldest from the 1890s. Before the 1971 wine law, labels carried additions such as Cabinet, feinste or Edel-, as in Edelbeerenauslese, and until 1982 Eiswein was not a Prädikat in its own right. That is why Eiswein-Beerenauslese from the 1970s exists. Goldkapsel and Versteigerung still mark specially selected lots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFood pairing with Beerenauslese\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA classic match is blue cheese, where salt and sweetness lift each other, or foie gras. For dessert, try a fruit tart, apple or apricot cake, provided the dish is less sweet than the wine. A mature BA is best enjoyed on its own, cool but not ice cold, so the bouquet can open up. More sweet wines are in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dessert-wine\"\u003edessert wine\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBeerenauslese FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Beerenauslese always sweet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractically yes. At this must weight a lot of residual sugar remains after fermentation. Dry Beerenauslese is a rare exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a red Beerenauslese?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes, though it is rare. Kloster Eberbach has made Spätburgunder Beerenauslese from the Assmannshäuser Höllenberg, partly as red wine and partly as Weißherbst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can you age a Beerenauslese?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGood Riesling Beerenauslese often develops over decades. The acidity keeps it fresh while notes of honey and caramel deepen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Beerenauslese and ice wine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth need a similar must weight. Beerenauslese is made from berries with noble rot, ice wine from healthy grapes picked and pressed while frozen. That is why Beerenauslese tastes of honey and dried fruit, while ice wine is cleaner and more focused on acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"weingut-hollerer-beerenauslese-2021-375cl","title":"Weingut Höllerer Beerenauslese 2021 37,5CL","description":"\u003cp\u003eWeingut Höllerer Beerenauslese 2021 is a richly concentrated Austrian dessert wine made from Grüner Veltliner grapes, selected late and affected by noble rot to achieve exceptional depth and sweetness.

Expect flavors of apricot jam, quince, baked apple and honey, with subtle tropical nuances and a gentle spice note on the finish. The texture is silky and mouthcoating, but never cloying, thanks to the cool Kamptal freshness. Stored well, this style of Riesling Beerenauslese has excellent aging potential, easily maturing and gaining complexity over 10–20 years or more, developing deeper honey, caramelized and marmalade-like tones over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes for Steininger Riesling Beerenauslese come from steep, well-exposed vineyards around Langenlois in Kamptal, where the interplay of cool nights and warm days helps Riesling retain its racy acidity while achieving full ripeness. The soils are typically a mix of loess, primary rock and gravel, which contribute both minerality and finesse. For Beerenauslese, only individually selected, overripe berries—often touched by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot)—are harvested by hand in multiple passes through the vineyard to ensure optimal selection. In the cellar, the must is gently pressed and slowly fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatic purity, with fermentation stopped to retain natural grape sugar. The wine is then matured in stainless steel or neutral vessels to highlight fruit, terroir and freshness rather than oak influence, before being blended as a meticulous non-vintage cuvée for consistent house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Riesling Beerenauslese is a natural partner for classic desserts such as crème brûlée, fruit tarts, lemon or apricot cakes, and panna cotta, as well as blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton, where its sweetness and acidity cut through the salt and richness.
