To stop the fementation, the winemaker uses sulfur or cool temperatures, so that the yeast stop their action. For sweeter wines style (like Beerenauslese/TBA/Eiswein) the sugar content is to high, the fermentation stopps naturally

Let the wine fully ferment and then add to the dry fermented wine sterilized grape juice (called süssreserve). In recent years this method became the favorite one.
