What does mean “Erzeugerabfüllung” or “Gutsabfüllung”?
Erzeugerabfüllung: This term translates to “estate-bottled” or “producer-bottled.” It means that the wine was produced, aged, and bottled by the same estate or producer that is named on the label. In this case, the winery takes full responsibility for the entire winemaking process, from grape cultivation to bottling. Erzeugerabfüllung is often associated with smaller, family-owned wineries or estates that have control over the entire production chain.
Gutsabfüllung: This term translates to “estate-bottled” as well but has a slightly different meaning in the context of German wine. Gutsabfüllung indicates that the wine was bottled by the estate or producer, but it may not necessarily imply that the grapes used to make the wine were exclusively sourced from the estate’s own vineyards. The winery may have purchased grapes or must from other growers or vineyards, in addition to using grapes from their own vineyards, to produce the wine.
