After Kabinett, Spätlese, and Auslese, Beerenauslese is the fourth designation of sweetness level in the German Prädikat system. Translated as 'berry selected harvest,' BA (abbreviated) is generally an expensive wine due to the fact that it is made from individual grapes which are picked by hand. BA are also often affected by botrytis cinerea (noble rot), which provide a unique, sought-after richness.

Beerenauslese is a German word (but let's use the English equivalent – berry selection). It actually refers to the way grapes are picked – one at a time, rather than in a bunch. The reason that's done is because all grapes in a bunch may not have ripened at the same rate. By picking them separately, winemakers can chose only the best ones, resulting, of course, in only the best wine. So beerenauslese is a good word to learn; it's pronounced BAY-ruhn-OWS-lay-zuh.
