One of the 6 German categories of Prädikatswein. Literally "late harvest", meaning that the grapes for Spätlese wines have been picked after harvest for Kabinett wines.
Sugar levels will have increased during the additional hang time, which translates into a fuller wine. Spätlese wines can be dry (with higher alcohol levels of 12-14%) or sweet, in which case the alcohol level will be lower (around 8-11%).
