| | Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) - Wines produced from hand-selected, dried, over ripened grapes, which look virtually like raisins. | | | The grapes are harvested and pressed while frozen, resulting in extremely fresh, crisp, yet richly flavored sweet wines with remarkable briskness and racy acidity. | | | TBAs are extremely rich and intense in flavor, sweet and honey-like to the taste. |

| | Egon Müller Scharzhof - Wines - Philosophy - Trockenbeerenauslese |
| | Trockenbeerenauslese can have a syrupy consistence and enormous residual sugar but even at the highest level there is always enough acidity to give the wines a long, elegant and almost ethereal finish. | | | As the selectivity at harvest increases to literally "berry by berry" level, so does the concentration of the wines. | | | Egon Müller Scharzhof - Wines - Philosophy - Trockenbeerenauslese |

| | Trockenbeerenauslese wines are exceptionally rare, extremely expensive (even more than Beerenauslese wines), and considered to be one of the world's premier | | | Because these grapes-picked one by one at fullest maturity-are very concentrated in flavor and sugar, they produce extremely rich, nectarous wines. | | | Trockenbeerenauslese Definition in the Wine Dictionary at Epicurious.com |

| | WINE BUSINESS MONTHLY |
| | Beeren- and Trockenbeerenauslese wines are typically produced from grapes which are infected in the mature state by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot). | | | Very sweet, high quality wines of the German Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese style (special late harvest or botrytisized late harvest, vins liquoreux, etc.) are primarily produced in France (Sauternes, Barsac, Monbazillac), Germany, Austria and Hungary and, to a small extent, in the United States, Canada, and South Africa. | | | In certain winegrowing regions, notably Italy and Austria, grape bunches are also partly dried under roof or in the sun for the purpose of concentrating the total extract in the berries. |

| | Wine Grape Harvest - Germany 2001 |
| | Winegrowers have reported must weights of 185° Oechsle for a Trockenbeerenauslese in late October in the Middle Mosel, and in the Nahe on November 11 Eiswein was harvested at 140° Oechsle, for example. | | | And, although statistics regarding the specific quality (ripeness) levels are not yet available, the German Wine-Growers' Association, Bonn, estimates that the majority of this year's harvest was ripe enough to qualify as high-level Kabinett wine of very solid quality. | | | It is clear that Riesling and other late-ripening varieties yielded a high proportion of Prädikat wines, including rarities such as Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein. |

| | Sweet wines need to be picked grape by grape in order to ensure the highest concentrations of sugar (Trockenbeerenauslese means “dry selected berries”), and are therefore more expensive to produce. | | | While the tour is pricey, the wines are decidedly not. | | | Copper colored, medium bodied, malty brew with a sweet toasted malt flavor and aroma. |

| | Don't confuse the highest quality level, Trockenbeerenauslese, which is sweet, with the German word "trocken" which means dry. | | | There are three levels of quality among German wines, but to be in the top category (QmP), the wine maker cannot add sugar; you get only naturally occurring sugars in top quality wines. | | | The former subcategories tend to be the sweetest and the Kabinett and Spatlese tend to be most dry. |

| | Riesling |
| | Because of both its cellar longevity and its ability to maintain varietal identity while reflecting the individuality of its terroir, Riesling may be the best of all the white wine grapes. | | | Its homeland is Germany, where it has been cultivated since the 1400s or earlier, and where it is made into wines that run the gamut from bone dry and crisp quaffers to the complex, unctuous nectars made from Botrytis-affected, shriveled berries, individually late-picked, and known by the moniker Trockenbeerenauslese. | | | The German names for this heirarchy, which ascends in order of the must weight or degree of sugar concentration, are Spätlese (late-picked), Auslese (selectively-picked bunches), Beerenauslese (selectively-picked berries), and Trockenbeerenauslese (only the most affected berries), or TBA. |

| | Here are made wonderful Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA), Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA), Schilfwein made from grapes dried on straw or reed beds, and obscure noble Ausbruch wines, which are exotic, full, luscious, and which go on forever. | | | Austria has some of the best sweet wines on earth, from one of the most remarkable places in the world for botrytis-affected wine - the Neusiedlersee, a shallow warm steppe lake of about 60 square miles, located in the warmest part of Austria, straddling the Austro-Hungarian border. | | | The lake's micro-climate is key to the wine's production; the environment around it is flat, marshy, and humid, and nowhere else, with the possible exception of Hungary's Tokajhegyalja, does the noble rot, Botrytis Cinerea, attack grapes so reliably. |

| | If your label says "Auslese," make sure it doesn't also say "Trocken" or "Halbtrocken," for that would indicate that the wine is not a dessert wine. | | | There are great Riesling dessert wines from many places, including California, Washington, New York or Australia, but the labeling is chaotic. | | | Look for four label designations only: Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, or Eiswein. |

| | Fine Wine Writing by Jancis Robinson - Something sweet for Christmas |
| | The best-value sweet wines on the market today tend to come from Australia where wine producers have applied their inimitably pragmatic technology to sweet wine production and, now that they have negotiated the right to export them to Europe, have a wide range of bargains to offer us. | | | Most of France’s great sweet white botrytised wines from Bordeaux and the Loire are no bargains, and Germany’s rare, sweet bottles labelled Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein tend to be even more expensive. | | | Great Sauternes and Barsac are proven cellar candidates, as are the great sweet white wines of the Loire such as the Coteaux du Layon below, although in my experience Austria’s very sweet Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) is best drunk in the first two to five years in bottle. |

| | Fine Wine Review Tasting Notes Issue 97 of the 2002 vintage |
| | The Kiedricher Gräfenberg BA is impressive for its thorough botrytis in nose and mouth yielding caramel, date and cocoa aromas and flavors and its creamy texture, but to my palate, the acidity is low compared to other vintages. | | | But the steep slopes of the vineyards meant that the water did not penetrate the soils to dilute the grapes, although they did delay the harvest somewhat. | | | For still other estates, the question is close, and one must go wine by wine. |

| | The Gewürztraminer Trockenbeerenauslese is a meditation wine par excellence and is best drunk on its own or at most as an accompaniment to unobtrusively sweet desserts. | | | The fermentation in small oak casks lasts 55 days, after which the wine is stored for a further 10 months, also in small oak casks. | | | The opulent bouquet is evocative of a basket of dried fruits from the Levant. |
