Late Harvest Wines
Late Harvest Wines
Late Harvest wines, are exactly what their name implies: a winemaker lets the clusters hang on the vines until the grapes start to turn into raisins, which increases the sugar levels, making a sweeter wine.
Aside from the methods used to make way of producing dessert wine. Botrytis cinerea, roughly translated as "noble rot," is a fungus that infects the grapes. It eats its way below the skin, attacking the fruit inside, turning it into horrible looking, moldy clusters, but also concentrating the sugars and solids.
