German Rieslings are classified by their ripeness level at the time of harvest Kabinett is the lowest ripeness level followed by Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA), and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). Ripeness means more sugar in the grapes during harvest, usually resulting in sweeter, more concentrated (and more expensive) wines as you progress up the scale
