  "Late harvest" means that the grapes were intentionally left on the vine longer than usual and are affected by "noble rot" (botrytis cinerea) that dehydrates the grape and causes the sugar concentration to rise. Late harvest wines are very sweet and typically reserved for dessert.
  
  Straw to light gold in color with honey, apricot, and maple syrup on the nose. Notes of apricot, honey, and candy apple on the palate with a syrupy mouthfeel. Full bodied with a long finish of honey. One of two great dessert wines by Herzog that's available pretty much anywhere. Cheers!
