Foodie beat me to it with the explanation of Trockenbeerenauslese (dried up berries selectively picked) and you can have a dry Spatlese (or occasionally an Auslese) but it will usually say Trocken (dry) on the bottle. You may also see Halb Trocken (half dry or slightly sweet) I love Eiswein which can combine the concentrated sweetness of grapes harvested as late as November with an acid backbone to keep the wine from being cloying. The cool climate of Germany or Canada allows for the phenomenon.
