Botrytis
The desirable rot ("Edelfaule" in German) that afflicts grapes -- particularly Riesling -- late in the harvest season, causing the grapes to dry and shrivel, concentrating the sugar in intensely sweet juice that makes memorable dessert wines. Manifests itself in the finished wine as a delicious honey-apricot flavor.
