Beerenauslese is only produced in classic years when Botrytris Cinerea (noble rot) appears on the grapes. This dehydrates the grapes and produce very small quantities of extremely luscious wines which age beautifully.
As this does not appear every year in Germany, the wines are rare and command very high prices.
1976 was one of the classic years for Beerenauslese as noble rot was in abundance in the vineyards.
