Q

What’s the difference between Erstes Gewächs and Grosses Gewächs? Point in common?

A

1) Erstes Gewächs(1999 vintage forward) category was created by German wine law, it’s a legal classification, pushed by the Rheingau’s producers, and can be used for any producer who adhere to the requirements in Rheingau, but the quantities are almost 1/3 of the entire planted area, so the quality is watered-down for the first growth.
Only for Rheingau region.
2) Grosses Gewächs (2011 vintage forward), was created by VDP, the system is formal, yet extralegal法律之外的, Grosses Gewächs is a dry wine from a Grosse Lage vineyard produced from the VDP members only.
For all regions of Germany’s members.
***Both are for dry wine.
