近年愈黎愈多人鐘意飲德國Riesling，但大家有冇試過明明想飲甜嘅🍭，就買左Dry，又或者想Dry D，但最後又揀左甜🍸？一於同大家上簡單德文堂，以防揀錯！酒標上寫住Trocken，其實就係Dry(不甜)嘅意思，而Halbtrocken就係half-dry或者off-dry咁解，即係少甜！至於睇到人眼到花埋嘅Kabinett，Spatlese同Auslese呢😵？
其實就係指採收時間，Kabinett是典型的時間採收，所以一般感覺優雅清新，非常適合餐前飲，Spatlese是晚收，Auslese是非常晚收，越晚收感覺越濃厚，但如果你以為越晚收一定越甜? 咁你就中伏了! 晚收出來不一定越甜，酒莊也可以決定發酵成不甜(Dry)，所以要留意Label有否寫了Trocken(不甜)或Halbtrocken(少甜)，沒寫就即是甜!
由Kabinett順序(果香細緻清新)，到Spatlese(比較厚同複雜) 同Auslese(最複雜亦最濃厚)！看似些少複雜，其實都不太難理解! 只要買前睇一睇，就唔會買錯啦！

German Riesling has become more popular these years. But have you ever bought a bottle of dry Riesling when you want something sweet🍭? Pay attention to the German words and you can get the right bottle! For example, “Trocken” means “Dry” while “Halbtrocken” means “half-dry” or “off-dry”. How about the complicated German words ranging from Auslese, Spatlese to Kabinett?
It actually talks about the harvest time of the grapes, "Kabinett" means the grapes are harvested at typical time, generally elegant and refreshing, good for aperitif. "Spatlese" means late harvest, while "Auslese" means very late harvest. The wine will be more concentrated. But it does not mean it is sweeter!
Wineries can make dry wines with late harvest grapes. So what you have to do is pay attention to the "Trocken" (dry) or "Halbtrocken (off-dry) words. If nothing is written, just base on the harvest time to choose your beloved sweetness!
Grab your bottle of beloved sweetness after you read the labels!
