Spätlese

Spätlese is a German term meaning "late harvest," and it refers to a type of wine made from grapes that are picked later in the growing season. This extra time on the vine allows the grapes to develop more sugar and flavor, resulting in a sweeter and more complex wine. Spätlese wines are often made from Riesling grapes and can range from semi-sweet to sweet. They are typically enjoyed with food, as their richness can complement dishes, or on their own as a delightful dessert wine.
