Auslese wines are harvested after the actual harvest, and even after the Spätlese (Late Harvest) wines in the late autumn. According to their Name (Auslese means to manually select and pick the grapes in the vineyards) the harvest has to be done by hand exclusively. Thereby only the most beautiful and the ripest grapes are picked! The must (juice) of Auslese grapes contains the highest sugar contents grapes can accumulate during the ordinary ripening process. (more than 20 % sugar ! ) Higher sugar contents can only be reached through natural concentrations processes, when water vaporizes through the grape skins due to noble rot affection for example. The sugar level Auslese musts contain forms the edge of where wines can still be produced in a dry fashion. That means that the yeast is still able to metabolize all sugar into alcohol, although that leads to wines containing more alcohol and is not even possible at all sometimes. Therefore Auslese wines are at least semi-dry in most cases.
