The German term for 'dry selected berries', used to describe wines made from specially selected, overripe grapes that are left on the vine until nearly dry. Because these grapes-picked one by one at fullest maturity-are very concentrated in flavour and sugar, they produce extremely rich, nectarous wines. The natural sugar content of the grapes must reach a certain minimum of approximately 35 % sugar by weight, depending on the region and the variety. Trockenbeerenauslese is the highest subcategory of Qualitätswein Mit Prädikat.
