Sélection de Grains Nobles
See Sélection de Grains Nobles producers See a list of Sélection de Grains Nobles wines
'Selection des Grains Nobles' (SGN) wines are rarer due to a bunch by bunch harvest, with minimum sugar levels stipulated at 256 g/litres for Riesling and 279 g/litres for Gewurztraminer & Pinot Gris.
Sélection des Grains Nobles is a further step up from Vendange Tardive, where the grapes have reached even higher sugar levels. The harvest may contain a proportion of grapes affected by botrytis, or noble rot.
SGN wines are sweet, yet the concentration and the degree of sweetness varies from producer to producer.
