The methods and traditions of producing Tokaji wines have changed little since the 17th century. Two hundred pounds of Furmint, Hárslevelú and Muscat berries infected with “Botrytis cinera,” or “noble rot,” are individually harvested from bunches with at least three trips through each vineyard, and collected in 25-kilogram (55-pound) wooden tubs called puttonyos. Essencia is produced using only the free-run juice that slowly oozes from the puttonyos as the “aszú,” the “botrytis-infected grapes,”...

Under the right circumstances, some of the finest sweet wines in the world can be made from Riesling that has been affected by Botrytis Cinerea, also known as “noble rot”.

This is especially true in the Moselle and Rhine river valleys of Germany as well as the Alsace region of France, the Finger Lakes region of New York, and Canada. These wines are at the same time wonderful, rare, long...

Botrytized wines are ordinarily made from white grapes from warm, wet, humid climates – the perfect conditions for the formation of Botrytis cinerea, a benevolent fungus often referred to as the ‘noble rot,’ and it is responsible for some of the world’s finest sweet wines. Distinctively honey scented, and with considerably more extract (alcohol level) than most wines, they are the most complex and longest lived of all the sweet white wines.

The damp, chilly run-up to Christmas is just right for what the Brits call stickies. Icewine is the top dessert-wine example in B.C., but the judges of our International Wine Awards often prefer both the taste and the value of late-harvest wine instead. Quails’ Gate TBA Optima 2008 took top honours this year, and the 2009 is drinking equally well. TBA means “totally botrytis affected”—the grapes hang on the vine till Botrytis cinerea, or noble rot, shrivels them up. Luscious apricot, orange, and...

Sainte Croix du Mont is on the right bank of the Garone, next to Loupiac and facing Sauternes-Barsac. Eighty wine growers tend to some 450 hectares(1,100 acres) of vineyards, of which 80% are planted with the traditional variety, S‚millon, along with 15% Sauvignon and the remainder of Muscadelle. The presence of botrytis cinerea, the "noble rot", concentrates the must of the grapes, which are picked by hand late in the harvest season and in several stages. A classic Sainte-Croix is full and generous...
