Trockenbeerenauslese

The Trockenbeerenausleses, or TBA, are Noble Rot wines, and very sweet, produced using selected grapes that are completely dehydrated due to the fungal disease Botrytis cinerea. The best ones are made with Riesling grapes, a variety which maintains its acidity in conditions of extreme maturity. Compared with Sauternes wines, also much-admired, the TBA have a lower alcoholic strength and are rarely aged in oak. They are truly exquisite dessert wines, selling at a high price, which means they’re usually sold in 375 ml bottles. You’ll find some of the best in our shop, at a very good price.
