from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ruster Ausbruch is a noble sweet white wine made from raisin-like shriveled, noble rotten berries of the Austrian predicate wine level Ausbruch . It is mainly made from the Furmint and Gelber Muskateller grapes; However, the grape varieties Chardonnay , Welschriesling and Pinot Blanc (also cuvées ) are used.
