Auslese (literal meaning: "selected harvest"; plural form is Auslesen) is a German language wine term for a late harvest wine and is a riper category than Spätlese in the Prädikatswein category of the Austrian and German wine classification.<ref>Deutsches Weininstitut (German Wine Institute): Quality categories Шаблон:Webarchive, accessed on March 18, 2008</ref> The grapes are picked from selected very ripe bunches in the autumn (late November-early December), and have to be hand-picked. Generally Auslese wine can be made in only the best harvest years that have been sufficiently warm. A small proportion of the grapes may be affected by noble rot in some regions although this never dominates the character of the wine. Rheingau winemaker Schloss Johannisberg is generally credited with discovering Auslese wine in 1787.<ref>Karen MacNeil The Wine Bible Workman Publishing 2001 page 540 Шаблон:ISBN</ref>
